The film takes the viewers back to 1979, eight years after the liberation war. War collaborator Khayer, who also killed Shila’s father during the war, forgot the girl whom he raped in 1971.
To take her revenge, Shila marries Khayer against the wishes of her family and on the night of the wedding she kills Khayer.
