The short film opens with a young couple fighting over insignificant insecurities and lack of understanding on a call. The call ends abruptly due to a milkman at the girl’s house who rings the doorbell. The film then follows the milkman and his conversation with his younger brother as they ride on a motorbike, delivering milk to various houses. They talk about Islamophobia and its dire repercussions on the marginalized Muslims. The ensuing conversation allows for a rejection of the idea of violence that stems from extremism, but also undercuts the true potential of the discussion a little too soon.

The brothers eventually stop to deliver milk at a shop when the film shifts its focus to two fast food delivery agents as they try to find a common ground amongst conflicting opinions about love and lifestyle. As the film inches close to its end, a connection among all characters is revealed.
