Synopsis:
Jamshed, a hitman and his associate, Hares rummage through the city of Dhaka to hunt down a man completely in cyan --- cyan shirt, cyan pantaloons, cyan shoes. They end up on a boat in search of an almost non-existent man as per the command of their boss over phones while their evening tea waits; Jamshed’s romance for the night waits; Hares’ urge to use a gun for the first time waits. Once or twice an impatient Hares questions the sanity of such a search to which Jamshed asks him think less and follow orders (like a puppet).
