An anonymous multinational company interested in capitalising natural resources, deceitfully leads a powerful politician's wife and her chauffeur on to an empty flat in a big city promising them a better life. The motive is to hold them captive, drive them to death, make it look like elopement case gone sour and use it as a tool to sabotage an agitation against a proposed power plant that is to be built by the company. The couple are surveilled upon by a faceless representative of the company who not only controls the supplies that go into the flat, but also mysteriously, the space and time inside. As the couple are coerced and blackmailed into going through a series of role-playing, the lines between the past, present and future mystically get blurred. Also blurred are their very existence.

Capitalizing the world natural resources is the foremost grand narrative that is being played post Industrial revolution. Such large monolithic narratives have their own set of casualties - freedom and liberty. To evoke this grand thematic issue within the confines of the four walls of a flat in a city was the challenge. The attempt here is to create an allegory - to give sense of the real through the unreal, to be in one space, time and character and suggest the other. The dialectics of this form could be best suited to portray a world that we think we are in control, but actually are not.
