Bhor Er Opekkha (Waiting for Dawn) revolves around the mundane city life of a working-class family in Calcutta. Yearning for companionship in his tedious life, middle-aged bachelor, Kousik, is also endlessly chasing an absconding shopkeeper to collect the payment for the goods he’d sold to him. Kousik’s company has blocked his yearly bonus until he is successful in recovering the money from the shopkeeper. Kousik’s mother, Karuna, is coping with the recent loss of her husband. She has just sacked her domestic helper for being too irritable and grumpy. Desperately searching for a new helper, she is having a tough time in finding one who fits her finicky standards.
