Kamal was a documentary filmmaker. In his last days he kept shooting obsessively with his digital camera, as if he was under the spell of a disease or an infection of shooting images. On a holiday, he had gathered some friends for a party with beer and fish fry in an under construction flat that he was going to purchase. Here, he keeps shooting his disenchanted childhood friend Kamal. In order to cheer him up, he showed him images of Rani (Kamals wife) on his laptop. Images that Kamal has shot while Rani did her daily work at home or as she had a conversation on her cell phone or even as she was having a bath in her bathroom. As Asim watches Rani in the laptop, Kamal keeps shooting him. Rani observes them and sits beside Asim as Kamal, the director, asks her to do so. Asim feels stifled and asks Kamal why he was doing all this. Kamal says that he was searching for an image, deadly as syphilis that would rot away the eyes of the viewer. The orgiastic drama finally culminates in the shamshan (burning ghat/crematorium) as bodies burn and people wail, Kamals ghost observes his friends and loved ones with a smile. As he keeps shooting Asim, Rani and his young girlfriend Anusuya meeting up and going for a boat ride down the river flowing by the Shamshan, a drop of tear trickles down his cheek. He waves at them as they float away.
