The film is about the journey of a person and is narrated in three parts from the lens of the protagonist: when he is a teenager, when he is 28 years old, and finally when he is 38. The three periods are synchronized to take place during pivotal movements: first, in 1999, when the first-ever gay pride parade took place in Calcutta, followed in 2009, when the Delhi HC decriminalized homosexuality, and in 2019, a year after the Supreme Court struck down the law that criminalized gay sex throughout India.
