Storyline

A bank watchman in Kolkata refuses to wear a mask during the pandemic, influenced by online videos. He faces harassment from others and loses his job after an argument with a customer. Broken and turning to alcohol, he finally puts on a mask when his drinking partner refuses to give him more liquor unless he does.

A man's refusal to wear a mask costs him everything.
