Four seasons play out in a house that hasn't seen the passage of time, each bringing forth and burying a piece of what it means to be human. An elderly man experiences relentless heat until a stranger interrupts his solitude. A woman hears the house breathing all around her as she floats through a blizzard of fears and dreams. A man welcomes strangers who might not be who they seem in the unending daylight of continuous rain. And when spring finally arrives, it brings change rather than rebirth. Marthyaloka Ithihasam (The Human Odyssey), a dystopian fable that take us through life's cycles, inspired by Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flits in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer. Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

An odyssey through time and memory, centered on a place in New Jersey where—from wilderness, and then, later, from a home—love, loss, struggle, hope and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.
