Deep Fridge is a single-night drama which unfolds on a stormy night at Mili's apartment. Mili is a divorced woman co-parenting her only child, Tatai, with her ex-husband, Swarnava. On one hand, Swarnava is trying to start a new life with his pregnant student turned second wife, Ronja. Abir was caught cheating with Ronja on his third marriage anniversary with Mili. This led Mili to divorce him. On the other hand, Mili seeks emotional refuge in Asif, a painter, after her divorce with Swarnava. On the stormy night, Swarnava is emotionally compelled to stay at Mili's apartment in order to take care of their severely fever-stricken son, Tatai. That night, they confronted their deep sunken emotions and introspected their failed marriage, metaphorically equated with the malfunctioning refrigerator at her apartment, which is frozen and is on the verge of breaking down. It is used to express their repressed feelings. Structured into three sections—Ice Cube, Melting Point, and Defrost—the film shows both of them accepting their present, realising they can leave their past and walk towards separate futures for the well-being of their child.
