| 12 | Kannada psychodrama based on the true-life |
| 13 | case studies of the Pai couple, practicing |
| 14 | psychiatrists and the film’s producers. Usha |
| 15 | (Shruti), daughter of a retired school teacher, |
| 16 | turns down a marriage proposal from a |
| 17 | progressive US-based engineer in favour of |
| 18 | university colleague Vikas (Srikant). Vikas |
| 19 | abandons Usha when his oppressive father |
| 20 | demands a dowry she cannot pay. After |
| 21 | psychiatric treatment, Usha joins a rural |
| 22 | voluntary organisation where she falls for its |
| 23 | leader, Francis (Heblikar). The demise of her |
| 24 | second lover after local gossip takes on |
| 25 | religious overtones causes a further |
| 26 | psychological crisis. The psychiatrist in the film |
| 27 | (Karnad), representing the producers, offers a |
| 28 | sociological critique of the events. |
