This gently intoxicating, multi-layered film by Goutam Ghose takes us on a journey through the life of an aged Bengali poet, Shashibhushan (subtly played by the great Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee). Shashibhushan, now blind, reflects on his past. Stimulated by sounds, songs, crows, traffic, and an electronic lighter he recalls the now-vanished arts and literature scene of post independence Calcutta.

The old man lives in a crumbling aristocratic mansion in the heart of town, which he shares with his teacher’s daughter, Sarama, and her young son Shumon. During a vacation in the country another man enters their lives. Gangan was born blind and is a talented singer. Gangan and Sarama engage in a secret affair as Shashibhushan recalls his own wife, who he lost because of his uncontrollable sexual appetite.
