Description Deepak and Anasuya are an estranged couple meeting after 18 months of separation, at a small fishing village where they had once honeymooned. Deepak works as a Creative Director for a new advertising agency in Calcutta, while Anasuya is in the final stages of achieving her long cherished desire of building her own dance academy at Bhubaneshwar. As in most marriages where the partners have given preference to their work over each other, and decided to pursue different careers in different cities, they have also drifted apart without realizing it. The second honeymoon is an attempt to rediscover their lost relationship. Almost instinctively, they realize that they have changed and yet, somewhere deep down, they are the same. And then, a miracle occurs which makes them think about the bareness of their conjugal life.
