The short film is a dedicated attempt to portray a woman's isolation following the coronavirus lockdown that has rendered everyone confined to their houses. As she moves from one corner of the city to another, now nothing more than an alien territory, she is unable to find the comfort and peace that is associated with human company, perhaps taken for granted earlier.

The title of the film also provides the metaphor, windows of empty buildings that would have once given a glimpse into different worlds, that serves as the premise of the narrative. The film is a sincere endeavour to explore a woman's inability to come to terms with her reality, along with the eventual hope she finds within as well as in the world around her. However, it would have benefited from a closer attention on the edit table.
