Exhausted by a burdening workload, unfair pay cuts and mismanagement of remote work since Covid-19, Vasu quits his job to pursue his long-lost passion for music. This leads to an argument with his father who reprimands his impulsiveness, and stresses on the fact that times have been difficult since the pandemic.
The film showcases the lack of understanding between two far apart generations.
Vasu's father finds it difficult to grasp his son's need to leave a well-paying job where he might be drowning in despair. On the other hand, Vasu is incapable of understanding his father's values of security and stability. It is at this chasm that the narrative of the film comes into being, engaging with two contrasting opinions, and eventually allowing a flying kite to be a symbol of freedom and autonomy.
