A man dotes on his partner, and his feelings are returned in equal measure. As the two of them step out for a weekend visit to the local market, a story of a relationship clearly marked by devotion and happiness is presented to the viewer. He may have ensured that his mother does not speak to her, but this moment is not one of tension weighing down upon their outing. They move from one shop to another, truly enjoying each other's company, when a strange development throws the protagonist fully off balance.

In the ensuing progression of events, things are made more clear to the viewer, even if not to the man himself. The most notable aspect of the film is the performance and the chemistry of its actors, which ensures that the viewer remains interested in their fate till the conclusion. As for the story itself, a disturbing revelation awaits within it, but one which never reaches the protagonist.
