The film presents a very sincere and thoughtful conversation about sex work and how the familial space interacts with it. Its title translates to 'Midnight Daze', and it is indeed at night, in a flurry of emotions, that the plot develops.
The reluctant protagonist, Karthik, and his very eager friend, find themselves in a red-light district of the city. Their paths soon cross with a very unexpected character - a woman older than them in age who is left deeply distraught by the assumption of her being a sex worker.
Soon the screenplay portrays for the viewer a mother-daughter equation, sharing the unfolding drama by way of primarily a single conversation. There is also the attempt to tie it with distinct choices for the background score. The end result, in the process, conjures myriad emotions and weaves a story of struggle, survival as well as forgiveness, and kindness.
