In an hour long monologue, Rajkumar tells us about his unremarkable life in his nondescript village and the five grains of sugar – the five people – who have stood out in this drab life for reasons stranger than fiction. The filmy mother; her poet brother Pundaleek; Raghu, the school hero; old man Radhey; and the anonymous 'Truckwala dost' . As Rajkumar talks, the five grains become a single life-game that he has been unknowingly playing for years and Rajkumar realizes that everyone has a story inside them.
