After the historical verdict of Indian Supreme Court on IPC 377, an unnatural man finds himself in the cage of hallucination. He runs his night and days with his “unnatural” dream and fantasy like an outmoded gun dreams to have its last fire from its own eye. He dreams about the freedom of love like Hitler once has had for his Germany. At the end of the world beyond the right or wrong there has a garden where the man meets with his love finally as every lover’s praise to meet with their love.
