Synopsis

The film is set in 1860 at Chandipur, in rural Bengal, India. Doyamoyee and her husband Umaprasad live with his elder brother, his wife and wealthy father, Kalikinkar Roy. Kalikinkar Roy, the patriarch, is an aging widower. He is a respected landlord and a devotee of the Hindu goddess, Kali. Umaprasad, Doyamoyee's husband, is away to study in Calcutta. She looks after her old father-in-law. She has a soft corner for her nephew Khoka, with whom she enjoys a fond relationship. Roy has a revelation in a dream that his daughter-in-law Doyamoyee is an incarnation of the goddess Kali. He insists she be worshiped.
