Synopsis
Devi, a young housewife, is deserted by her husband Madan. Living alone with her sister-in-law Shila in Calcutta, she dreams of romance and a better future. One day a stranger, Rahul, turns up at her door, claiming to have met her and Madan some years ago, when they lived in Alirajpur. As proof of his veracity, he mentions the now separated couple's shaky and argumentative marriage. Rahul also claims to have been Devi's lover. Shocked, the young woman denies the whole story, saying she has never left Calcutta or been unfaithful to her husband. However she agrees to lodge the mysterious traveller who continually makes reference to their shared past, which she finds increasingly troubling. After numerous failed attempts to persuade her, Rahul turns to her sister-in-law, who does not believe his story either. After living with the two women for a while he suddenly decides to leave. Devi, fearful at losing a situation she has begun to enjoy, tries to persuade him that his presence in Calcutta is not due to pure chance, but to her secret desire to find a lover.
