He was faced with distortions in his inflexible adherence to routine life. He returns to his native to find that his father's death is not about ordinary departure but leftover inconveniences. In his hometown Thiruvananthapuram he has to deal  with his relatives and resident association members. Everyone immediately is trying to put him in a loop of chores where he has to go through nightmarish social responsibilities. To escape from these responsibilities Mani cycles away only to confront worse scenarios and eventually make a tryst with grief. Reception. The movie was received with a critical acclaim at IFFK. Director Kamal called this film "a finding in Malayalam cinema" in an interview with Mathrubhumi.
