The film invokes a sense of deliberate unease with its experimental approach, marked by a high-paced edit with seamless transitions, each smoother than the other. It takes the viewer into the life of a disturbed protagonist who dreams of becoming a pilot. His reality, however, is far from that. The narrative further brings in an experience of emotional isolation from a distanced family, mental health struggles, and lastly, the failure to clear the examination that would have enabled him to finally become a pilot.
As he expresses his grievances with his parents, and his hatred for his desk job, the role of mental health, primarily depression and Alzheimer's, is conjured to reveal to the viewer the obstacles in the protagonist's path. The film also brings to life ideas of a parallel existence, a philosophical engagement with the same, while employing flying and dreams as important metaphors and symbols. The final product is marked by an easy flow of visuals and camerawork that exhibits notable potential.
