Tenant farmer Bande and his wife Siriya struggle to survive after losing their farm. By chance, Bande meets Sira, a truck driver from the city, who befriends him and encourages him to open a shop in their village. Following Sira’s advice, Bande starts the business, but it fails to turn a profit. One day, Siriya is sexually harassed by one of Sira’s workers and since then she withdraws from her husband and the entire world around her. With the business failing and his wife growing distant, Bande descends into despair and alcoholism, ultimately taking his own life. Left alone with her young son, Siriya is overwhelmed by grief and uncertainty. Sira offers her a chance to start anew in the city as his wife. Jayashika Padmasiri
