In an era of vivid charm, and on the very day of India's Independence... August 15, 1947... Khukumoni faces a shocking reality.

Her inner conflict reaches its peak when she witnesses a murder where an innocent musician is accused of being the culprit and will be hanged.The musician's life is at stake as well as her own conscience.
