A middle-aged writer, entrapped in a state of ennui, is writing about his memories from the past and distant future. His wife, with whom he lacks intimation, remains at the background, busy with her household works. But ignoring everything, he keeps writing in his typewriter, about the time when he too fell in love while he was contemplating like Buddha inside a manhole. His life begins to healed by the intricacies of love, but it wasn’t enough to save him as the woman left soon. Later became a priest and one day, confessions from a psychic murderer, a mother and a small boy who had been suffering from existential ennui, began to raise concerns about the inadequacies, and eventually came to the realization that he was not lonelier than them, he had no one to listen to him. He stops being everything but a man unable to hold more miseries and outburst in an unknown seashore where he confronts his master, his creator. But yet a question arises, whether to truly tell he had written his story back when he was writing about his memories or those pages were meant to create something else!
