A fisherman, Kishore, marries a young girl accidental when he visits a nearby village. After their wedding night (during which the couple is almost too shy to speak), she is kidnapped on the river. Kishore became mad. She fights with the bandits, jumps into the river and is saved by some strange villagers. But she does not know her new husband's name or what he looks like, she only remembers the name of his village. Ten years pass before she attempts to find him with their son, who sees his mother as a goddess. Some residents of Kishore's village refuse to share food with her and her son because of the ever-present threat of starvation. A young widow whose name is Basanthi giving consideration to the mother and child. Kishore was the lover of Basanthi on childhood.

In this film Ghatak plays role of Nilkantha Bagchi, an alcoholic, disillusioned broken intellectual, in the character's own words "a humbug". His wife leaves him because of his insufferable alcoholism. After losing his wife and being forced from his home, he wanders through the countryside and meets unusual folks along the way. Nilkantha meets Bongobala, who was driven away from Bangladesh and does not have any shelter in Kolkata; he gives her shelter. He meets Jagannath Bhattacharjee, a village school teacher of Sanskrit. Jagannath's school was closed after political killings and he came to Kolkata in search of a job. Nilkantha meets Naxalites whom he describes as the "frame of Bengal", but misguided, successful and unsuccessful at the same time. The film, adventurous and revolutionary, is an exceptional mix of images that challenge the limits of narrative storytelling.
