An ominous dream convinces 77-year-old Daya Kumar that his end could be near. He tells his son Rajiv, who feels compelled to take leave from his demanding job, drop everything and make the journey with his stubborn father to Mukti Bhawan, a guesthouse devoted to people about to die, in the holy city of Varanasi. As the days go by, Rajiv finds himself caught between his responsibilities to his father and to his boss, while Dayan starts to bloom in the hotel. A tender comedy full of emotional depth.
