TEMYONG, a widowed man, and a writer by heart in his 60s longs for a lifetime worth of reconciliation with his deceased partner, MALAYA. It is through the intervention of life and the unknown that paved their way to communicate and exchange letters through an antique cabinet. They have shared days of their lives—and afterlife—every day until TEMYONG bared his story that he never got to tell MALAYA when she was still alive; the existence of MELVIN and the repercussions of them. In the end, just like how he would like things to end up before MALAYA transcends to a better place 40 days since her death, they reconciled and opened doors for a greater new purpose—fathering MELVIN, who has spent his childhood longing for familial love.
