Film director Ram, along with his wife and actress Maya, want to move away from Nepal and broaden their careers in faraway countries. On the other hand, it is more important for Maya to regain her immediate livelihood and stability. Despite Ram's opposition, she ends up finding her job. But when they start working, they have to stay away from each other four days a week. The two cannot narrow down their opinions. It is never easy to accept either side's opinion because both chasing dreams and ideals come at a price that can never be neglected. Director Deepak Rauniyar hides interesting cinematic apparatus throughout the film to highlight their dilemma: the main characters in Ram's films and the couple's reality, the coziness and unfamiliarity of the house where they live in. Their work which is being more recognized externally, and the disintegrating reality in which they can no longer create their works. All the devices in the film are contradictory, fluid, and unstable, just like their conflict and psychological state. (LEE Dong-yun)
