Compartment is the story of a closeted common Indian man.
His life is a conflict.
There is a mask of ‘being normal’ that he wears everyday, bound and afraid of the rigid social dynamic in Indian society.
But within, he unleashes the fantasy and ironically the truth of who he really is.
Though after all these years of pretending to be straight, these fantasies rarely ever surface.
As he remembers watching an effeminate person who eventually became his muse. Maybe this time, he would find the courage to make his fantasy a reality.
