Age and desire are often confined by each other in the Indian society. The short film uses the same as its premise to talk about companionship and its need at all stages of life, irrespective of the age of the person.

It is early morning when a man prepares breakfast for his two sons. Clearly a male-only household, the family has a deep conflict brewing under the surface of the daily routine before they all head out for work. The sons are unhappy with their father's relationship with a woman, worried about what society and relatives might say if they find out. The story engages with the concern and leaves the viewer with a positive, much needed message about judgment and stereotypes prevalent in the world we live in, as well as a suggestion to overcome them.
