The film presents to us the struggles of Sunita who works as a domestic help in the house of another woman. While both of them have their own individual battles both at work, as well as in life otherwise by the virtue of being women, the latter still has that one extra layer of privilege that protects her from the financial tribulations that the pandemic threw people's way. Along with portraying this, however, there is also the attempt to draw a parallel between how neither gets to have a say in what they truly want to pursue in their lives, with their family members prevailing over their desires. 

Further, the title is allowed an echo within the desire that is closest to Sunita’s heart, and how it eventually becomes a metaphor for the life she wants to lead. Even if the film shows the want of firmer hold on its sound, the storytelling still exhibits potential.

The story of the film is pushed forth by three simultaneous narratives of three men - a beggar, a wealthy man amidst a chaotic legal situation and an ambitious man who dreams of accumulating his own wealth one day. Along with introducing us to their stories, the film also gives us a glimpse of their approach to life, especially vis-a-vis money and material belongings. 

The tool that is specifically used for the same is alcohol. By portraying the relationship of the characters with it, the film presents its primary message for the viewer to engage with. While life may have dealt each one of them a vastly different hand, their perspective towards their own individual circumstance, along with the overlap that exists between the three lives without them consciously realizing it, communicates the film's intentions in a manner that is clear and direct.

Household chores continue to be a form of unpaid labour which is overly glorified without truly acknowledging women's efforts that go into it. The short film interacts with the same idea through the experiences of two men who perform some of these chores when quarantined at home following the coronavirus lockdown.

The film is your quintessential sibling relationship where you will fight till the very end about the
smallest details to avoid doing a chore. This means that you would quarrel over the literal and
suggestive meanings of the words your mother actually uttered to determine whose turn it was to do
the grocery run this time. However, it also means that, like all siblings, beneath all your quarrels lies affection,
and the film doesn’t forget to draw that out as well.
