She has a lodger too, a reluctant student, Maneck, from the mountains. As their initial suspicion of each other turns to friendship and then love, their lives take dramatic and often shocking turns against a backdrop of India in crisis, during “the Emergency” of the mid-1970s, a period marked by huge political unrest and human rights violations. A comedy, a tragedy, a story of the triumph of the human spirit under inhuman conditions.
