The short film engages with a reality innumerable Indians grapple with on a daily basis. The constant effort to strike a balance between your professional and personal life is the core concern of the film. It is the story of one man trying to be present for his little daughter and wife, while at the same time trying to hold on to a job that pays his EMIs and monthly bills.

As his daughter waits for him for hours to take him to a movie, he is unable to leave work on time. This is the tipping point for him and he decides to take an important step to amend this. However, tied by duty, will he be able to truly achieve his heart's desire? Raising the same question, the short film becomes a comment on all those who find themselves confined and limited by their pay check because that probably is the only option they have in the face of all their responsibilities.
