Finally, Chatrak asks a question without posing it in words: how do we reckon with the parts of ourselves that are no longer useful? The film suggests that memory is both ballast and burden—necessary to identity, yet liable to drown us if we cling to it too tightly. In the end, Mukhopadhyay leaves us with a lingering image of small human acts—a cigarette put out, a cup set down—that function like fossils. They are traces of what was, and they demand that we imagine what might come next, even if the film refuses to tell us.

Against this scaffolding, certain moments of sudden noise or music feel like violations: they remind us that the present is fragile and can be punctured by memory or violence. The film tricks you into expecting catharsis, and then withholds it; that withholding is itself a thematic device, reflecting how real life often denies closure. They are traces of what was, and they
