Strange incident occurs in a village in the arid ghats of western Maharashtra. An only son of the family disappears and his grandmother is worried that there will be no heir. Her youngest daughter-in-law faces pressure for a male heir but this has been made impossible by the refusal of her husband to consummate the marriage. She is afraid to share her fear and pain that she faces from the hands of her husband, and this severe mental stress leads to her physical infirmity.
Another woman in the village, called Sarjabai, wife of a Dalit soldier who is serving away, is accused of witchcraft. She is educated and coaches the village kids, but has no kids of her own.
