Ishwar and his younger sister Shita struggle to rebuild their lives after the partition of Bengal. In a refugee camp, they take in Abhiram, an orphaned boy of low caste, who lives with them as a brother. Years later, when Abhiram and Shita fall in love, tragic conflicts emerge: Ishwar opposes the marriage out of caste prejudice, and his rejection sets off a chain of events that proves devastating for all three.
