Synopsis

Ulen is a young and successful but unhappy man who shuttles between the polarities of two utterly different lives - one is the world of reality where he is rich and married to a beautiful girl, and the other is the world of his dream where he is poverty-stricken and married to a dedicated girl. The film portrays his self-realisation about the value of love and seeking happiness as he prioritizes the former over tangible materialism.
