Description: The movie “Koode” (2018) follows the story of Joshua, who works in a factory in Dubai. He receives an urgent call about the death of his sister, Jenny. Upon returning to his hometown, Joshua attends her funeral but appears unaffected even after seeing her body.
The narrative shifts to a flashback, revealing Joshua’s life at 15. His father, a mechanic, and his pregnant mother prepare for Christmas. During midnight mass, his mother goes into labor, and a baby girl named Jennifer is born. Joshua adores and cares for his sister, but Jenny is diagnosed with a congenital illness, leaving her dependent on medication and reducing her life expectancy. The family struggles financially due to hospital expenses, and Joshua’s poor academic performance leads to his expulsion from school. To lift his spirits, his father takes him to a train yard, knowing his love for machines.
Joshua’s maternal uncle suggests taking him to the Gulf to find work and support the family. Reluctantly, his parents agree. After Jenny’s death, Joshua discovers her creative works, including drawings and poems, in her room. He also meets her dog, Brownie, who takes a liking to him. Wanting to drive around town, Joshua borrows Jenny’s ambulance van, which was used for her hospital visits. At a lakeside, he finds someone sleeping in the back seat—Jenny. Awakening from this dream, Joshua goes to the van parked outside his house and, to his surprise, finds Jenny alive inside. She convinces him that she is real and that only he can see, hear, and talk to her.
