The film is based on a story of a guy who is into his adulthood but can’t leave his childhood. The film showcased the complications of an adult person belonging to the current generation.
How a person loses his/her childhood and got force to enter into the rat race of career-building, where everyone is running being clueless. Nobody cares about their child’s dreams and passion.
