When a car accident lands her husband, Kaushik, in the hospital, Kaberi's life takes a dramatic turn -- in more ways than one. Anguish over Kaushik's dire condition gives way to anger when Kaberi learns he was having an affair with his co-worker. Torn between sympathy for her bedridden husband and the sting of his betrayal, Kaberi weighs her options.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Prosenjit and Konkona had to maintain physical distance on set to preserve their characters' estrangement — Ghosh banned casual conversation between them.
The film sparked debate in Bengal about whether Kaberi's choice was 'progressive' or regressive — Ghosh refused to judge her, which angered purists on both sides.
