Throughout his life, the poem reappears mysteriously, in the affecting life experiences of others as they are recounted to him. An eccentric and beloved schoolteacher leaves behind a dark secret after his death. An elderly woman returns to the same hotel on the Tunisian coast every year as an act of remembrance for a disappeared brother. The son of a wealthy Indian businessman, the pariah of his family, finds solidarity and the distant pang of freedom within the letters of an estranged Aunt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs we follow characters on their journeys of self-discovery through the jungle of Thailand, as a child in the British countryside, or as an aging doctor on the island of Cyprus, \u003ci\u003eAbsence \u003c\/i\u003eevocatively builds a compassionate symphony of nostalgia, attuned to the drama of everyday and the phantoms that linger with us.
