The film presents to you a very bizarre situation. A man having confined his existence to a toilet, now lives out his whole life from this small, cramped space. Baffling as it may be, the premise is engaged with lucidly, marked by humour and lightheartedness. The film is notable in the manner in which it does not take itself too seriously, allowing it a sense of effortlessness and, in turn, a successful execution of the plot.
Our protagonist is extremely conscious of the environment and its conservation, having attained his degree in the same field of study from the University of Oxford. All his years of research and observation of the world have led him to conclude that the best way to protect the planet is by cutting down his own interaction with it. And yet, one day, when he needs a little dose of the outside world, before he can confine himself to his toilet again for another two to three years, a harsh development awaits him in the form of the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown.
