[2] Daughter of a Marathi poet settled in United States, Mukta returns to her ancestral home when she gets a post-graduate scholarship to study sociology.
She lives with her grandfather, Abasaheb Kanase-Patil, a veteran of Maharashtra's co-operative movement.
At the university she joins a street theatre group of Dalit activists and is drawn to the group's leader Milind Wagh, a fearless student leader and poet.
Family's unease increases when her friend from America Julian arrives.
The old man recalling Marathi Saint poets’ struggle against caste inequalities is complemented by Julian singing of songs associated with the struggle against the racial discrimination in US.
