The digital film opens showcasing Ritika; a 15-year-old daughter, passionate about football, who suffers a knee injury during a match, undergoes surgery and rehabilitation. Despite her father, Deepak's concerns around the risks involved, she secretly resumes her training. Being protective as a father, the whole situation seems worrisome which leads to disagreement between the father daughter duo. Here, leveraging Artificial Intelligence, the film showcases Deepak's transformation from his late 40s to his late 20s, adding a visual element to the storytelling experience. The poignant scenes depict a younger Deepak taking every efforts towards his dreams. Through this, reverse human storytelling approach, Deepak's realization dawns upon him as he witnesses the mirror image of his own youthful commitment & determination reflected in his daughter. There is a realization, making him acknowledge that he too possessed the same love, dedication and unwavering spirit towards his passion, during his own youth. He reflects on his efforts to support his daughter and realizes the strong connection they share, built upon their shared love for the game and a never-give-up attitude. At the end, Deepak is seen embracing his role not only as a father but also as a coach, mentor to his daughter.
