A boy's desire to have an ice-cream, and the journey taken to fulfill that.
Set in the backdrop of the lush green tapestry of rural Bengal, the film breaks away from stereotypical representations of particular communities and explores the undefined zone in which real human beings exist beyond the rigid definitions of communal and ethnic identities. While narrating a story rooted in its milieu, the film reflects themes of universal concern and takes an insightful look into the age-old evils of gender binaries, religious fundamentalism and communal disharmony plaguing human society even today and is an earnest cinematic appeal to look beyond such myopic glasses of discrimination and celebrate humanity simply as human beings.
At 6 am on June 21, a doctor in the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic meets a woman clad in a protective suit during his morning jog. After ignoring the woman’s pleas to see a patient at her house, he receives a blow to the head and collapses. Upon waking up, he finds himself trapped in the house of three women who call each other "mamoni." The house is a swamp of time and space where the same people repeat the same actions and words every day at the same time. When the doctor, who only looks for an opportunity to escape, eventually becomes accustomed to the death-like life, a crack in time begins to appear.
