Summary:
Vinayak, a forest guard, lives a lonely life, with just the memories of his dead wife, in a government house in the dense forests of Goa-Karnataka border. His repeatedly rejected pleas for a transfer by his superiors in the department of forests have left him bitter. One night, he comes across a filthy, unkempt mentally challenged women lying in the compound outside his house. He drives her away but she keeps returning. From his initial irritation with her filthy appearance and irate behaviour, he slowly gets used to her daily visits looking for food and sleeping in the courtyard. With time, he begins to derive comfort from her presence. Vinayak's growing relationship with the women initially attracts some comments but evokes a strong protest in the village oly when she gets pregnant. The villagers question Vinayak's right over the mentally challenged and helpless women. They maintain that his relationship is morally incorrect and should be ended. However, for Vinayak, the women is his companion and the mother of his child and there is no dilemma in his mind over this. Thus begins a conflict between a society that refuses to take responsibility of such a women and one man's endeavour to integrate her in his life.
