In one of the interviews, an eye-witness narrates horrific stories of how the Muslims were massacred near the railway station of this small village. He mentions Asmat, a beautiful Muslim girl who was murdered. Among the possibly hundreds who were killed, he specifically mentions about a Muslim clergy man and his wife who were murdered near the village lake. These stories highlight the scale of violence that was occurring in Punjab in almost every village, town and city.

In the village of Hamboki (also spelled as Hamboke), Gujranwala, a Sikh schoolteacher chose to stay behind after Partition, the only member of his community to remain. The villagers he had taught and lived among turned on him, and he was murdered. Seven decades later, his granddaughter returned to walk the streets where her family once lived. She met the descendants of those same villagers, stood where her grandfather had stood, and traced the outline of a life violently erased. In her own words, she narrates the events of Partition and the weight of that homecoming.
