Layla stumbles upon an old wooden box in her grandmother Amina’s attic and finds a stack of yellowed letters. Among them, she discovers an unopened letter from fifty years ago, written by a man named Yusuf. In the letter, Yusuf asks Amina to meet him under the old willow tree, hoping to build a future together. However, the letter was never read, and the meeting never happened.
