spoiler alert

Henry Berths is a teacher by profession. He has hired an alternative teacher in a new school. No student in the school follows any rules. They do whatever they want.

Sometimes he insults the teacher and sometimes he attacks the teacher. Rao, the parents of the students, did not say anything to them.

Henry began his duties at the new school. He is not angry at the rude behavior of the students and tries to explain to them.

Many problems can be solved only through dialogue. When people are frustrated and feel pain inside, they can find a solution by talking to someone.

Among the students , Henry became acquainted with a girl named Meredith . Frustrated, Meredith finds a friend as a teacher in Henry. He told Henry the words that were stuck inside him.

Growing up in Nanu's care, Henry lived in a world isolated from the world of ordinary people. Henry is always alone. He doesn't want to mix with anyone. Living towards the end of his life, Henry fulfilled his responsibility towards his grandmother.

Henry tries to be good in front of everyone. But inside him there is a cry of despair. She can't overcome her frustration.

And even if no one understands anything, his granddaughter knows very well about his inner condition. He could feel the pain and loneliness behind Henry's outward smile.

In the darkness of the night, Henry wandered the streets of the city, embracing loneliness. One night, Henry meets Erica, a sex worker.

Henry's humanity was aroused when he saw the poor condition of young Erica. Erica is weakened by Henry's extraordinary character and personality. Erica expresses her love for Henry.

Henry is a man with a good personality. Meredith can talk to Henry with an open mind. In the same way, Henry advised Erica to get tested for HIV because of his humanity.

The students are also happy with his teaching style. Henry reads Edgar Allan Poe's poems in class. Students can feel and understand many things.

Although Henry could inspire everyone, he could not fix his own situation. He blamed his mother's suicide and his granddaughter's deteriorating physical condition. He is living in reality. Even then there is loneliness and frustration.
