The monotony of urban life in the daily chores of Shubho , an out-of-work young man who has inherited an ancestral house that fetches him enough money by way of rent to make ends meet, and Mishtu , a schoolteacher who lives with an alcoholic father. Both are emotionally scarred individuals on whom time weighs heavy. They seek to lose themselves in the routine circularity of their day. From his balcony, Shubho watches Mishtu go to work every morning.At a specific time of day every afternoon, the two cross each other fleetingly on a staircase strewn with autumn leaves but they do not exchange any words. A connection between the two is suggested but the meetings do not translate into a fully expressed relationship.
