Summary Nimai and Balaram work together at a small railway terminal in the Purulia district and in their off-time, they both dabble in wrestling. When Nimai marries the beautiful Uttara, Balaram also becomes possessive of her. Their discord causes the normally placid village to become the scene of much unrest and even violence. Director Dasgupta uses the story as a metaphor to describe the state of contemporary India.
