Isolating in the pandemic, a musician grieves in a large house. Mihir (Sidhant Gupta) has recently lost his brother, from whom he was estranged. The loss has reduced him to a weedy, unshaven mess. He paces the house barefoot. The space mirrors his wilting mental state. A metronome ticks. A bent lampshade bows in sympathy. The soundscape is a hive of disconsolate keys and strings. His work suffers. No progress is made. As C.S Lewis wrote of those in grief... "the same leg is cut off time after time."
