The play follows the visit of an aging professor, Niladri, and his glamorous, much younger second wife, Ela, to the rural estate that once belonged to the professor’s late first wife. This estate now sustains their comfortable urban lifestyle.
Two close friends—Bhanu, the brother of Niladri’s first wife and long-time caretaker of the estate, and Atanu, the local doctor—both become captivated by Ela, even as they lament the monotony of their provincial lives. Sukanya, Niladri’s daughter from his first marriage, who has worked alongside Bhanu to keep the estate running, quietly suffers from her unreciprocated love for Atanu.

Tensions come to a head when Niladri announces his plan to sell the estate—Bhanu and Sukanya’s home—in order to reinvest the money for a higher income for himself and Ela. The announcement triggers a breaking point for Bhanu.
