The narrative of the film is simple and direct, and aims to address some relevant concerns of contemporary times. The entirety of the film is constituted by visuals of a video call between two lovers. The plot develops to reveal that while one of them is a health worker, the other is a young police officer.
By invoking the reality of a world where the members of these two professions have been subjected to immense hostility and sometimes even violence by the people, the plot makes a subtle attempt to celebrate them. This is achieved along with the reminder for society to realise who their true heroes and protectors are. Further, the performance of its only two actors exhibit potential and brings to screen a convincing chemistry.
