Synopsis

Kishunsah is a self-respecting old man who decides to divide his property among his family the moment he suspects that all is not well between his sons and daughter-in-law. After the division in the family, Kishunsah settles down with his youngest son, but his tranquil life comes to an end sooner than expected. He, too, has to face the rewards of old age- the ignorance, the insults. He has no value now. One day he is thrown into the junk-yard room to live. He feels completely detached from his family and decides to cut off all his relations and emotions, renounce the world forever. But is it possible to suppress your values and kill your emotions?
