Alcohol consumption can prove to be a true menace for the body, if not regulated and paid attention to. The short film invokes the same concern with its single-character narrative. A boy sits by himself, watching television and chatting to a friend on his phone. Simultaneously, he pours himself a drink.

However, soon he finds himself standing before a mirror that shows him two contrasting realities - of life and death. The one thing that alters it is the glass of alcohol in his hand. The film is well-intentioned and wants to communicate a positive message to its audience. At the same time, it would have been enhanced further by consistent and more seamless editing that allowed the contrast between the reality and the reflection of the protagonist to be smoother.
