A young college student volunteering at a wildlife rehab center forms an unexpected bond with Ila, a feisty Indian Grey Mongoose. From leaping across breakfast plates to cracking eggs, Ila’s antics charm everyone. Set in the lush outskirts of Bengaluru, this tale captures Ila’s adventurous return to the wild and her friend’s bittersweet lesson in letting go.

SUCH AN EMOTIONAL TOUCHING STORY THAT IT BROUGHT TEARS IN MY EYES AGAIN AND AGAIN AND I CRIED FOR ILLA'S AND WRITER'S EMOTIONAL BONDING.

The part where Ila disappears from the centre made my eyes filled with tears. But,when she reappears, it fills my heart with joy but the last part made me emotional....I too wonder where did ila go.
