The story deals with the boredom of a college student, Surya (Anant Nag), at his family farm and his attraction towards Laxmi (Shabana Azmi), the comely wife of a poor, deaf and dumb potter, Kishtaya (Sadhu Meher).

When Kishtaya is punished and humiliated for a petty crime, he runs way. Alone and vulnerable, Luxmi succumbs to the advances of Surya, and becomes pregnant.
