It is a short film which you can call a wake up call or a slap across the face. The story starts with the males of the family eating, chatting, enjoying; where the wife provides them the food, cleaning the table and putting cool water in the cooler. And, when a new guest comes with her wife; his statement was that his wife does nothing in home, so he brought her along so that she can help the wife. They all went to the kitchen, which is humid and not enough aerated. When try for a way out and it doesn't work, the wife asked for help, which is never responded. When the sarbaat being distributed among the ladies, the maid didn't have the privilege to share the same cup as theirs. And, then they (the ladies) talk about having children- where one of them (who was pregnant) said that his husband told her to quit the job after the baby comes, which were supposed by others. The only question the wife was that, can't a women do both- taking care of child and have a career? When the time to dine came, the daughter (of one of the ladies) was asked to come and take the plates to serve it to her brother; even though the other boy who was playing with her never asked for anything. The final scene happened, when husband kept on shouting for the food, food. The wife took a glass of juice and a chair and sat before the cooler, which for so long she was putting her efforts into but never got the privileges of enjoying. And as she sips and stares all the man kept their who just few minutes ago taking about the differences of female- male anatomy, work potential, worth and what not
