The film is a notable story about the cacophony and chaos of human existence. Though it appears simple and sweet at first, an important comment rests within the plot, one about a significant negative aspect of the human condition. 

The protagonist lives with a hearing disability, until one day when he stumbles across a hearing aid by the roadside. Experiencing the auditory wonders of the world for the first time, his glee is uncontainable, as is also portrayed by the actor's ear-to-ear smile. However, if only the world had only sunshine and cheer to offer. Soon the joy changes into overwhelming noise which the protagonist had not anticipated. 
The visuals support this development and shift with competency, as the narrative continues to march forward, leading to a crucial realization for the protagonist. Consequently, the many components come together to present to you a complete story that lucidly portrays all of its ideas for the audience.

The first introduction the film offers to the viewer is marked by a tone of urgency - a small time drug peddler has somehow landed himself in dangerous proximity to a cop. As he makes a hurried call to a companion, the audience is invested and involved, without even realising that they are already rooting for him. The visuals introduce us to the lateness of the hour marked by empty streets, inhabited only by street dogs. The story is interesting in the manner in which it adds layers and texture to the narrative without truly making anything explicit. Consequently, we are informed of financial trouble, the aftermath of beef ban and police foiling the business of peddlers. To add to it all, a suspicious visitor arrives at the doorstep as the two characters try to figure out the course of action ahead. The mood is eery, the hour unearthly, how will the remnants of the night develop?
