[It's We Are Okay meets Before the Coffee Gets Cold
- in a Malayalam high school, under a gray sky,
where the boy who died yesterday still smiles at you today.]

Twenty-one-year-old Hima's life was nothing out of the ordinary until that one day when she found herself mysteriously awake in her past, in her eighteen-year-old self, exactly six months before her classmate Soumik Kurup had taken his life. Determined to avoid any involvement with him or his tragic fate, Hima keeps a low profile. However, as time passes, she inadvertently becomes more entangled with Soumik than she ever intended.

After a brief encounter on a rainy day, Hima begins to see beyond the facade he presents and the assumptions she had made about him based on her observations. When time paves the way to bring them close as more than just classmates, Hima have two choices resting in her palm: get involved in his mess to save him or stay on the sidelines like she has always done and let him take his life yet again.

or she is his classmate who found herself back in the past, given the opportunity to save his future. except she does not wishes anything for the boy until hearts flutter and time stutter.
