A newlywed couple in a remote Bengali fishing village meets tragedy one night while crossing a river. Ten years pass, and the girl returns to the village after living in another one. A local crazy man may or may not be her husband. After another tragedy, their only child is left an orphan. He is raised by her childhood friend, but she struggles with the responsibility and his apparent ingratitude. Interesting glimpse at Bengali culture and customs, beautifully shot in black and white, but suffers from extreme length, amateur actors and melodramatic, occasionally incoherent plot.
