Storyline

A young man in his haste to go some place takes two actions - he screams at his mother for making him late, and he lovingly appreciates his brother's painting. By doing so, he strikes off two cycles - one of frustration and sorrow and the other of love and joy. His mother vents out her anger on her maidservant. His brother gifts the painting to his girl friend. Thus begins the cycles of sorrow and joy, forming a Domino stairway, leading to an unknown doorway. After shaking hands with 15 other characters and traveling through 17 locations, in just two shots, both the cycles meet at the end in an attempt to give a logical understanding to the seemingly absurd human life. It's a humorous look at the bizarreness of the cosmic accident, otherwise known as life.

User Reviews

It's Amazing!

One of the most creative pieces of cinema I've ever seen. Superb performances. The whole film has been shot in just two shots. It's as innovative in execution as it is brilliant in concept. Sachin Sanghvi's background score is phenomenal. It's the best thing in the film. Red Blossom Cherry is a lovely song that finds the delicate balance between being extremely fun and profound at the same time. Watch out for the scene where there's a tiff between the coconut seller and the kid. It's damn funny. I'm glad that the film won three international awards. After all, what goes around, comes around. All right here, right now.
