Set in Calcutta in the early 70s, the central figure is a left activist and school teacher, Hemanta. Narrowly escaping being murdered by the police,Hemanta finds his political organisation indisarray and flees to Bombay where he leads a quiet life though his nerves are still shattered by his Calcutta experiences. Through a friend,Rakesh, Hemanta meets Jaya and they marry.To help raise money to buy a flat, Jaya reluctantly becomes a model for advertisement photographs. Obsessed with the desire to secure a middle-class lifestyle, Hemanta forces Jaya to take on demeaning photographic assignments and, to impose his will on her, he rapes her.
