Whispers beneath the stars

Set in the quiet, nostalgic corners of the 1990s, Skybound and OceanBreeze is a tender story of love, heartbreak, and the unspoken threads that tie two souls across miles and time. Amid the hum of dial-up internet and the warmth of handwritten letters, Arnav and Khushi-two teenagers from different worlds-find each other in the digital sanctuary of an ICQ chatroom. What begins as playful banter between their aliases, Skybound and OceanBreeze, grows into something profound, a connection neither of them expected but both desperately needed.

Arnav, a boy from Amritsar with a heart full of unspoken dreams, juggles the weight of family responsibilities and his own quiet longing for more. Khushi, a girl from Bangalore seeking refuge from a life of unrelenting expectations, hides her brokenness beneath a spirited smile. Together, through words on a screen, they discover a space to shed their fears and be utterly, beautifully human.
