The entire production revolves around Bakkar, a blind beggar of Rajshahi University Station Bazar area and an unexpected incident in his life. Fragments of Bakkar's daily life are shown in the film. Bakkar lives in an abandoned room at the station. He begged by walking in the station market. One of the production crews started a conversation with Bakkar incidentally. Bakkar talks about his helplessness and lack. It is known that Bakkar studied upto Higher Secondary level, he gradually became blind due to Pox disease in 1988. His wife died; after that he was separated from the family for various reasons. At one point, filmmakers collected information and interviews about Bakkar from local people, and the truth came out from the mouths of these people. The end of the film depicts Bakkar's inhuman night stay in the station's abandoned room.
