The film shows glimpses of life of seven persons of different age groups having this syndrome:


PS: Another coincidence connected with this film being that I knew Akshay Shankar, the production manager of this film as a toddler (pre kindergarten age) as he happens to be the son of one of my teachers in the special school.

It is the time you spend with someone who is really in love.
