Instead of calling the police, he finds himself clearing up the crime scene and helping the murderer, Widad, to avoid arrest. As Arihote embarks on a quest to rebuild his relationship with his son and resolve his feelings about his father’s suicide, he tries to figure out why he is allowing his interest in life to be revived by Widad. Their chance encounter may set both men on a new course.
