In order to unravel this message, Chippa leaves his pavement abode at the stroke of midnight and heads out to discover the city and its street nightlife. the film as seen through Chippa's eyes is full of magic realism, wonder and enchanting conversations with strangers. The night, which is energetic and lively to start with, becomes a little dream-like as the film proceeds.
