Synopsis

Wherever you go, light it. Then you will remember that there is a home where someone is waiting for you.”

A boy studies by the light of a kerosene lantern in a one-room home in Dharavi. On the night he leaves Mumbai for Kolkata, his mother presses her small brass lamp into his hands.

Over the next seventeen years, Rohan Jadhav carries that lamp across five cities and four countries. He climbs scaffolding at Rajarhat, bakes bread before dawn in Cologne, carries rations through the barricaded lanes of a locked-down Mumbai, builds a career among the glass towers of Dubai, and finally arrives in the long, snow-lit darkness of a Helsinki winter. Along the way he finds love and loses it, survives a global crash and a pandemic, and becomes the unlikely father of his sister’s two grieving daughters.

Moving, honest and full of hope, The Lamp That Travelled North is a story about migration, family, grief and the stubborn courage that the Finns call sisu. It is for everyone who has ever left home, and for everyone who has waited for someone to come back.
