A cattle farmer who aspires to be a stage actor, Das works with a cosmopolitan theatre troupe headed by an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed director. When the director’s tantrums unearth buried resentments among the group’s members, the play they are rehearsing threatens to come apart.

Bound to a chair after a fall, ACHAR calls back three figures from his past - a son who went away, an estranged mentor-friend, and a nurse he never acknowledged as his mistress.

Somewhere between the end of autumn and the start of winter, the absent one returns home to a small town in the mountains. Now in his 50s, always away and late, having missed his brother’s funeral, he lingers at the threshold of the old home - what else can he attain other than delaying one more night of his arrival.
