About this film - Nitin, 27, is struggling to recover from a recent heartbreak, seeking solace in small daily rituals like making coffee and listening to jazz, but his peace is interrupted by an emotionally fragile 26-year-old who joins him for breakfast. As they discuss Jaun Elia’s poetry and the man’s mental health struggles, Nitin grapples with understanding his trauma while dealing with his own. Later, Nitin discovers a dead man in the street, surrounded by a crowd indifferent to the death, more concerned with trivial matters like recipes and exams. This absurdity deepens when Nitin realizes a profound truth about life and death upon returning home.
