An incident happened at a interior rural area of Assam long twenty years back, and based on that tragic fact, the story of this film has been developed.

So she is always careful specially at night.

Bali is a middle-aged man of that village. He collects tax from the salesmen of the market. He is a angry person and so almost everyone of the village fears him. Bali knows the lustful looks of some people upon Tarn. One day Bali forcefully enters Taru’s hut and directly goes to the bed without a bit disturbing her, and morning goes out silently. Such a way, Bali always comes to Tarn’s hut at night and goes out in the morning without disturbing her.

Thogi is a Thalawala (Carriers thala) of the village. Besides, he cremates dead body in funeral of any person of the village. Thogi also sees Tarn lustfully.
