The entirety of the narrative is constituted by a single conversation between two men, pivoting on the metaphor of a bridge. Both located at vastly different ends of the social and financial spectrum, their experiences allow them one brief moment of overlap, to eventually give way to a tragedy. <br><br>With his personal as well as professional life in tatters, a powerful corporate magnate finds himself at the end of his rope. The moment of the introduction of his circumstance to the audience is also accompanied by the knowledge of him having little to no idea about the life and experiences of his driver, a man with whom he has spent the better part of twenty-five years. As the conversation allows the man to make an important decision about the course of the rest of his life, the film suggests that sometimes the very crucial turning points are determined by the smallest realizations which truly make all the difference in the long run. Additionally, the film has smooth visuals, but loses points when it comes to effortlessness of the flow of the conversation between its two actors.

The short film is an engaging psychological thriller that takes us into a night in Sid and Meera's life. The opening of the narrative establishes not only Meera’s profession as an environmental conservationist, but also her beliefs and ideas towards animals, and humans' relationship with them. However, the beginning marks the onset of something else as well- Sid’s disturbing fixation with a centipede Meera did not let him kill that night. <br><br> 

As Sid’s sanity spirals into absolute chaos, he loses all sense of night and day, reality and dreams, and begins to see the worm everywhere.
