While watching the short film, you are given a sense of feeling and understanding how both the characters are alike, yet completely different.

He has a certain pattern and doesn’t want any disturbance in it. So what happens when these two alike yet contrasting personalities collide? How are they trying to fit in the world like all of us with what they have to offer? Well, the film’s climax startles you while answering these questions.
