Synopsis: What is Izahaq's thinking after his dad Abraham raised his hands to kill him? This film explores the biblical parallel of the 'Abraham and Issac', going to the top of the mountain to offer a sacrifice as per god's instruction. The emotion of Issac about his dad, who raised his hands to kill him, is explored in the film. The film is based on a biblical quote (1 Corinthians13: 13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.) And it's juxtaposition to war. The question remains - What is in that box? Why is Isaac is curious, Abe's sudden return leaves him in debt and he is hoping to find another job. Will he find a job? I tried to explore the dilemmas faced by people when faith, hope, and love are questioned.
