His son, Aryanil, a sensitive middle-aged man facing challenges in his personal life, visits him. Although deeply connected to his father, Aryanil lives in Chicago, USA, and has become distant from the person who profoundly influenced his life. During their five-day reunion, long-forgotten memories resurface, and buried incidents regain significance. These few days prove to be more impactful than years apart, as Aryanil confronts the realities of aging and destiny, ultimately finding hope and meaning in his own life.
In today’s world, where work pressures, financial struggles, isolation, and stress dominate daily life, many feel that the bond between fathers and sons is fading into the past.
