Akim est un jeune musulman qui se destine, avec son frère Youssef, à devenir imam. Tandis que la sœur d'un prêtre catholique de son quartier est assassinée par un voisin, ce prêtre décide de continuer à vivre auprès de la famille de l'assassin, car il sent que cela les aide à vivre. Interpellé par cet acte de charité, Akim s'engage dans un chemin de conversion au christianisme, qui va l'opposer à son frère et à l'ensemble de sa communauté. Le film met en évidence d'une part la déstabilisation de la famille d'Akim à la suite de sa conversion, d'autre part, les liens familiaux très forts de cette famille qui veut malgré tout conserver des liens avec lui.Actors

The plot of the film is based on the concept of Reincarnation and a beautiful love story. Newly married couple Gopinath (Akkineni) and Radha (Savitri) are on Honeymoon and traveling in a boat in River Godavari. Gopinath cries to the boatman to stop the boat as there were dangerous Whirlpools ahead. On reaching the shores, Gopinath takes Radha to an old building. The boatman tells them that it belonged to a Zamindar and takes them to the Samadhis, which reportedly belong to that of one Gopi and Radha. They, then, find an old lady lighting deepam at the Samadhis. Gopinath recognises that she is none other than Gowri from his earlier birth. Gowri too recognised him as Gopi and breaths her last in his hands. The main story is narrated as flashback by Gopinath to Radha.

Upon returning home, Doork confides his problems in his wife Ada, and she encourages him to stand up for himself. Helmut overhears the circus owner agreeing to fire him after the head clown issues an ultimatum. Helmut is distraught. He is arrested later by the Gestapo for ranting about Germany and drunkenly mocking Adolf Hitler in a bar. Following an interrogation at the Gestapo headquarters, he is imprisoned in a Nazi camp for political prisoners. For the next three to four years, he remains there while hoping for a trial and a chance to plead his case.
