Summary

Agnes Mata, a middle-class suburban mother of two elderly grown sons, Ziggy and Gabe is stuck with her husband Louie, in a monotonous routine, day in day out serving everyone in her family who have taken her existence for granted by leaving little or nothing to her own choices in family matters. She found herself curious to a jigsaw puzzle of 1000 pieces among all other gifts she had received in her birthday. It was not very late before she discovered her passion for putting together all the wrong pieces into the right spot. Agnes, who has always been passionate about going for college education in mathematics but never been successful owing to her priorities for others, begins to discover her strength in logical reasoning and gaining control over the challenges posed by the game of puzzle. It is for her eagerness to stay involved in making her own choices by solving new puzzles she travels to New York to find the shop where she can explore more of similar types of puzzles. While checking out at the billing counter inside the puzzle shop, she notices an advertisement that leads her to meets Robert, a former champion of puzzles who is looking for a partner to take part in the next puzzle national championship scheduled in a month. Agnes is not comfortable with strangers generally, but with her puzzling adventurous trips to meet Robert twice a week, gradually realizes, she has been precisely apprehended by Robert who also admits her gift in solving puzzles in her own unorthodox way. They fall in love out of their mutual respect and for the ability to see countless random events in their lives taking the shape of a perfect picture similar to the fragments of a jigsaw puzzle because at the end of the day there are all the right choices no matter how many wrong pieces might have been fitted into wrong places that has helped them to rediscover their inner self.
 

PUZZLE is the portrayal of the metamorphosis that takes place with the inner self of Agnes, who has reached her early 40s without ever venturing beyond New York city which is a faraway place from her home, with a fancy thought of paying a visit to Montreal, her birthplace. She lives in a tight-knit immigrant community in which she was raised by her widowed father. When she discovers the monotony of 50 years of happy marriage from her widowed aunt Emily she realizes she is not alone in the league. Agnes decides to step out of her naïve bubble to express herself with confidence and not turning back on her acumen with heart out assertiveness. If this is the because of the game of puzzle or intriguing conversations with Robert or maybe both, we leave this to you, the audience, to decide the true spirit that lights up the self-esteem in Agnes Mata.
