Life can take you to many levels… which one do you want to go to...

Mumbai city- huge population- so many people - so many - busy lives - dreams- opportunities- careers- fast lives- not enough time- difficult relationships etc.

This story is about two strangers, thrown together in a strange situation. One evening, in a corporate office building,due to a major power failure, two people happen to find themselves stuck together in an elevator- a young man and a slightly older woman. There seems to be no one else around- no one in the building and no help seems to be coming their way.

They get talking and gradually learn more about each other. Things like this don't happen too often in everyday life- they start bonding and actually begin to like each other. They find that they have a lot of things in common, similar tastes and interests, etc. Just when they start getting comfortable with each other, a secret that has been lying buried reveals itself and leaves them

shocked, threatening their individual perception of life. What will they do?

THE FILM WAS SHOT IN 6 DAYS. A SET WAS BUILT. THE ACTORS FOR LOVE OF THE SCRIPT AND THE DESIRE TO PUSH A DIFFERENT BOUNDARY AGREED TO WORK ON GOODWILL.

THE MUSIC WAS ARRANGED AND SCORED BY FRIENDS OF THE DIRECTOR. ONE OF THEM IS A PILOT WITH A COMMERCIAL AIRLINER AND MUSIC RECORDING HAD TO BE WORKED AROUND HIS FLIGHT SCHEDULE.
