Through a series of intricately composed long takes, Epilepsy exposes the robotic state of students today through the eyes of a young boy. For him, going to school simply means a continuous dose of discipline and punishment from all sides. His education simply means taking what he's given, and any dissent or deviation from the norm is discouraged with force. Even when a girl begins to inspire change in him, will he be able to face a strange, new world that is so different from the one he knows?

Difference in generational values is perhaps as old as time itself, and can neither be explained nor resolved. An ambitious teenager is eager to explore the world by reaching the other side of the river. He meets an indifferent and unenthusiastic ferryman. The tiny ferry is not large enough to hold dissenting opinions. The ferryman considers the teenager naive while the teenager thinks the other spineless with no stance. Reflecting on the present, their conflicts and separate beliefs make a consensus almost impossible. Two people set for sail, yet only one reaches the shore. On the other side of the river, the youngster, instead of hope, witnesses the end of an era.
