Medicine background

Medicine

A young couple's spontaneous decision to care for a deserted baby leads them on a thrilling adventure in India, unraveling the mystery of the child's grandmother's disappearance.

Backpackers Jack and Marjorie embark on a journey through India, where they meet a grandmother, Yashika, and her two children, Anjali and Geetika, on a bus. As they chat, Marjorie encourages Jack to look beyond the poverty and appreciate India's rich culture and history. The bus stops at a busy station, and Yashika gets off, asking Marjorie and Jack to save her seat, promising to return shortly. Marjorie offers to care for Geetika, and soon the bus driver starts the engine, leaving Marjorie and Jack frantic about being left with a baby. Marjorie's outburst at the passengers' misunderstanding leads to her realizing Yashika is right behind her, having simply moved to the pick-up point. Yashika thanks Marjorie for minding Geetika and hands her medicine for her mosquito bites. The bus continues on its journey, with Marjorie and Jack feeling humiliated and ashamed for their assumptions.
