The film opens on a seemingly mundane note, suggesting that it’s going to take us into a day in the life of the protagonist. However, as the story progresses, we realize this is anything but an ordinary day.
It is the only day of its kind in decades, the plot underlines, while also conjuring a sense of the past alongside an emotional goodbye. All of this comes to pivot on a simple act of a character, the fifty-year-old protagonist himself — the act of making a cup of tea. While he may have owned a tea factory for decades, this is the first time he is making himself a cup. The act further marks an important evening.
The screenplay is constructed with care, and the poignancy it evokes offers a single heartfelt moment. The film weaves all of it together, alongside a notable performance by its sole performer, to present a creative endeavor that not only exhibits potential and vision in terms of storytelling but also leaves one with the prospect of more such endeavors with a similar approach.
