Film portray a bouquet of emotional lava melting & cooling in a short 42.50 minute interregnum (period of discontinuity or gap) of life.
A formal setting transforms itself to a serious emotional catharsis (process of releasing and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions) played by the 2 protagonists, when erstwhile (former) ego, mind games, breakups, memories of association all are subsumed by the basic instinct of communion. Aditi is woman on a barbell of daunting (difficult or intimidating to deal with) emotions she unloads herself confession by confession.
The honest confrontation with her ex-paramour (lover especially a illicit partner of a married person) by serendipity (finding valuable or agreeable things not sort for) helps the setting.
