When a 21-year-old girl falls in love with a boy from an oppressed caste, her infuriated family believes she is possessed by his love spell. They ruthlessly drag her to a distant village shaman to break the spell and erase all her memories of him until she forgets his face by performing witchcraft and sacrificing a rooster. The day of travel exposes the dangerous influence of caste, religion and chauvinism on an average Indian family.
