Karthik is on his way to his sister’s wedding when his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Stretched for time and with no help available nearby, he finds himself making his way to what appears to be an empty temple. Here, his path crosses with a priest.
The ensuing conversations between the two give the viewer a longer glimpse into Karthik’s character. He is ambitious, self-driven, even offhanded sometimes, and his world remains defined by material pleasures. The two characters thus present a binary between the realms of materialism and its emptiness, and a spiritual existence marked by fewer wants and harmony with nature.
Though the story remains confined to one night, the brevity of the plot serves to drive the message home deeper. This, in turn, leads not only the protagonist but also the viewer to a moment of reflection, further drawing attention to how wandering away from a usual, well-trodden path sometimes can lead to something far more than one's expectations.
