Teen years of a person's life can be a very confusing time with exposure to many things being encountered for the first time. The short film has the same premise as it takes the viewer into the life of a teenaged boy, trying to understand different aspects of his life. From daily concerns of his school to those of his peers and parents, he finds himself preoccupied with several things.

As he navigates all of these befuddling, novel elements, he is presented with the opportunity to try an intoxicant which alters his reality in a significant manner. The film makes a dedicated attempt to convey the psychedelic nature of the substance and the mental state of the protagonist in an experimental manner. The screen is smeared with different colours and hues as he is chased by masked characters from his life. However, what truly lies for him at the end of this chase - clarity or more doubts?
