The film follows the grief and the attempts to start over of Regi, an 85-year-old engineer, after losing his wife. With the support of his children and his own determination to move forward, Regi tries to escape his lonely routine by writing a book and even falling in love with an actress. The plot engages with discussions surrounding aging while celebrating love, resilience, and the art of living.
