This film traces a couple’s first steps into polyamory. After sixteen years together and raising two children, they decide to open their relationship. Over several months, we follow their experiments with different forms of non-monogamy, told across six chapters. As new relationships emerge, their long-standing bond begins to shift, exposing tensions, desires, and doubts. The film observes how love changes under pressure, and whether what they have built can survive this transformation.

ಹದಿನಾರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ದಾಂಪತ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಇಬ್ಬರು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿರುವ ದಂಪತಿಗಳು, ತಮ್ಮ ಸಂಬಂಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯನ್ನು ತರಲು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರು 'ಪಾಲಿಯಮರಿ' (ಒಬ್ಬರಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಏಕಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಬಂಧ ಹೊಂದುವುದು) ಜೀವನಕ್ರಮಕ್ಕೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಇಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಮುಂದಿನ ಕೆಲವು ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ನಡೆಸುವ ಈ ವಿಭಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಗಳನ್ನು ಆರು ಅಧ್ಯಾಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಹೊಸ ಸಂಬಂಧಗಳು ಬೆಳೆದಂತೆ, ಅವರ ಹಳೆಯ ಮತ್ತು ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾದ ಬಾಂಧವ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಗಳು ಶುರುವಾಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸೆಗಳು, ಅನುಮಾನಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಮಾನಸಿಕ ಸಂಘರ್ಷಗಳು ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಪ್ರೀತಿಯು ಒತ್ತಡಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿಲುಕಿದಾಗ ಹೇಗೆ ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ? ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಇಷ್ಟು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾಲ ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡ ಸಂಸಾರ ಈ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯನ್ನು ತಡೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತದೆಯೇ? ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಈ ಚಿತ್ರವು ಚಿತ್ರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
