He spends most of his time avoiding social interaction, finding comfort in solitude and routine. When his outgoing friend convinces him to meet Aseka, a confident and free-spirited woman, Niran reluctantly agrees - fearing that he will only embarrass himself. Their meeting takes place in a cozy cafe on a quiet evening in the city. What begins as a painfully awkward encounter, filled with silence, clumsy small talk, and nervous laughter, slowly transforms into a genuine exchange between two people who seem to exist on opposite sides of confidence. Aseka's openness and warmth gradually draw Niran out of his shell, while Niran's honesty and vulnerability reveal an emotional depth that Aseka rarely encounters. As the evening progresses, subtle gestures, brief smiles, and shared moments of quiet begin to bridge the distance between them. Beneath the glow of streetlights and the soft hum of the city, they find something rare - a fragile yet real connection that challenges their fears and expectations. Told in real time over one evening, the film gently explores loneliness, self-doubt, and the courage it takes to let someone in. It celebrates how love can begin in the most unremarkable of moments, where silence speaks louder than words. Written by Shakthi Ariyasiri See less
