Plot
Nariman Vakeel is a 79-year-old Parsi widower beset by Parkinson's disease and haunted by memories of the past. He lives with his two middle-aged step-children. When Nariman's illness is compounded by a broken ankle, he is forced to take up residence with his daughter Roxana and her husband Yezad, along with their two sons. This new responsibility for Yezad, who is already besieged by financial worries, proves too much and pushes him into a scheme of deception with devastating consequences.
Parallel to this narrative is the story of Mr. Kapur who envisages peace and freedom from political terror in the city.
