Sita (Nandita Das) is a beautiful young woman who, at her father's arrangement, marries a wealthy but indifferent video store owner. Lacking love, her married life feels like a torment for Sita, as her husband is obsessed with researching Chinese martial arts and shows no interest in her. The only respite for Sita comes from her sister-in-law, Roota (Shabana Azmi), who, like Sita, is also trapped in an unhappy marriage. After years without children, her husband has become absorbed in spiritual pursuits, neglecting her for many years. Their similar experiences create a lot of common topics between the two women, and they support and accompany each other. Over time, this connection gradually shifts from the spiritual to the physical.
