The protagonist of the film, Rajat, is dealing with a traumatic emotional upheaval, the loss of his wife, Pritha, to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is coupled with the isolation of a locked down world which has further left him struggling to come to terms with the pain and grief. 
With only a sincere, close friend by his side, Rajat is gradually succumbing to his reality. The narrative explores all of these emotions, engaging with the different stages of grief. There is the attempt to talk about serious mental health concerns, and the adverse ways in which the pandemic worsened them. However, as for the protagonist, while things may seem extremely bleak on the horizon, could Rajat find it in him to accept the circumstance, and eventually, the strength to move on?

The year 2020 has been the most overwhelming and bewildering experience for us all. From sanitisers and masks becoming our best friends, to online classes and all our activities having been moved into the virtual space, confined simply to our computer and smartphone screens. The narrative of the film is an interaction with the same elements, giving the audience a glimpse into the day-to-day reality of the protagonist, while also conjuring a parallel situation, invoking the possibility of how much worse (or better?) the existing circumstances could have been.
