The film is predominantly an engagement with the introspective emotional journey of its protagonist. While disrespectful and dismissive of his colleague on the sets of a film, a scene on the same shoot becomes a reflection as well as a reminder of a cruel act he had committed in the recent past.

Turns out, his self-absorption as well as the complete immersion in his hubris had led him to mistreat people. Triggered by the regret and remorse he finds himself interacting with, perhaps for the first time in a long while, he then attempts to embark on the path of self-reform. However would he truly succeed in his attempts? The film exhibits notable performances and investment of thought in the structuring of the narrative, yet shows want of finesse, primarily in the sound department.
