SCENT OF CIGAR

An actor encounters in his life exactly what he was acting on the drama as a character or was it he empathise his character and life
A theatre actor is in the green room during the beginning of the film. The actor has no specific name and he is one and only character of this film. The play in the film is an intimate theatre where audience is also a part of play. The incidents he portrayed the play happens in his life exactly the same way as it is in the play. Is it real or an illusion? Film is open ended and left this question to the spectators. Memories linger. In the past this actor worked with a rural theatre group where he directed the play. He was never satisfied with the performance of actors. He insisted an actor should empathise with character. What happens in the film may be an attempt of the actor to empathise with character?
