The village has just buried all the memories of the staggering Northern war. He (Sunimal) finds shelter in the house of chieftain of the village ‘Ralahami mama’ who does not bother about his past but present. Sunimal whilst trying hard to get over his indelible memories of war, faces his second battle of life as he couldn’t resist the charm of Yasho, Ralahami mama’s daughter.
