Short Synopsis: Two filmmaker friends meet after fourteen years and have to spend a span of eight to ten hours together. As they celebrate the re-union, one narrates a story of a possible film to another. But soon, as the secession turns into a game of one up-man-ship; their bizarre past catches up with them. Central to this is the fatherhood of a fourteen year old girl! The duo by the end realise that they are as bankrupt as ever, in all sense of the word. Director’s Note:This film is a sort of a reflection on my own profession, filmmaking. The genesis of this reflection is the fundamental question of the ability or inability to create something 'worthwhile'. The idea is to explore what is it to have such a ‘being’. Therefore, the film intends to go beyond its apparent subject.
