We humans as a race are living on this planet since ages. But we are the most complex species on the planet till date. The game of desires, expectation, greed, wish, power and hierarchy has made us the most complex. The family and the social structure are the same around the world though the religion, caste, creed are different. Due these complexities, we as humans are trapped in the vicious circle of past, present and future. There is always a generation gap looming around us. The gap is the same, generations might change.

The story revolves around the relationship of father and a son. Son is of todays generation, surrounded by the world of gadgets and technology. The son feels that he is superior in terms of technological knowledge and ease of living day to day life with the help of all the technologies around. On the contrary father thinks that his ways of living life and relationships may be retro type but it is far more superior than the way of virtual relationships.

Father thinks that the existence of virtual world and ease of doing day to day things have cannibalised the life of humans. According to him people should be agile, live and close to nature. He thinks that technology have replaced the real emotions with virtual emotions, the eye contact has gone and they are just words not the feelings. Nothing is felt and realised. The essence of life has just vanished. This feeling he sees in his son, when he realises that his son who is in relationship with a girl, that girl who is his future daughter in law. Their love equation is dry and locked in a closet. Its all virtual though they are together. The warmness and the heat in the relationship is missing and one day it would end in a cold storage. There is a tug of war between the father and the son, and father claims that though his son is far more knowledgable and prone to information, he is lacking in romance of the life. Son in reluctant about the ways of the romance existed before the internet broke out, and father is reluctant about the age of internet and virtual world. The gap is of wisdom and love. Knowledge harnesses wisdom and love harnesses humbleness. The exchange needs to happen to cure the paradoxical situation of both the ages.
