The story revolves around the life of Sougata Roychoudhury (played by Soumitra Chatterjee), an eminent poet who is being honored by a literary society to have a serene holiday at Kusumpur forest. But for widower Sougata, this is an escapade from the estranged family of his careerist son. As he traverses the journey, a question storms his mind — where does man escapes after all? He tries to find the answer in all that he could achieve in life. More his ego inflates, more he becomes alone. He could have come in terms with the hollowness that life is, but for a tragedy that shakes his entire being. As a mysterious village girl appears before him suddenly, he realizes that there is a river that flows in between to separate life from the death. None can escape from the suddenness of crossing it at the end.
