When you are forced to leave your home, what do you take and what do you leave behind? Using a single long take, Bye Bye Lullaby explores the meaning of belonging and belongings, transporting and being transported, passing away and passing down.

I grew up learning of the painful stories of 1947, the partition of Pakistan and India. I learned of violence from both sides. I have a vivid picture of my mother's solitary kaleidoscope left behind somewhere along the way. She later began collecting kaleidoscopes as an adult, long after she moved to India. I inherited my mother's collection of kaleidoscopes. I began my own collection, of spinning tops, that my child will inherit someday. The things we keep and the things that we are forced to leave behind. This film is dedicated to those who have ever needed to leave home.
