Set in late 19th-century, pre-independence India, this film is about a woman's artistic and romantic yearning. It is about a workaholic newspaper editor's lonely wife, Charulata, whose beautiful face masks a burning creativity. When her husband's poet cousin comes to stay with them, Charulata finds herself both creatively inspired by him and dangerously drawn to him physically. A delicate tale of a marriage in jeopardy and a woman taking the first steps toward establishing her own voice
