The forensic pathologist Dr Nariman has a car accident with a motorcyclist and injures his 8-year-old son. He offers to take the child to a clinic nearby, but the father refuses his help and money. The next morning, in the hospital where he works, Dr Nariman finds out that the little boy has been brought for an autopsy after a suspicious death.
Dr Nariman is facing a dilemma: is he responsible for the child's death due to the car accident or the child died of food poisoning according to other doctors' diagnosis?

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
I read a quote from Rolf Dobelli somewhere, "Those who were bold and brave were killed before they could transfer their gene to the next generations. The rest, that is the coward and the considerate, survived. We are their progenies."
We have made weird images of the cowards in our mind, but they are in fact exactly like us. Perhaps they are even the reprint of our behaviour; the cruel behaviour that we have justified in the name of wisdom.
How many times so far our fear and inability to express the simple truth has triggered a big calamity in others' life?
I don't know what I would do if I was in place of the protagonist doctor, but I remember vividly much simpler moments when I lost to my fears and doubts wisely.
This film might be an elegy on the grave of a man once I dreamt to be.
