In a village in Western Uttar Pradesh state of India, a woman who belongs to a lower caste used to be the mid wife of the village. When her younger sister in law gives birth to a son, the wish to have her own child becomes stronger in her. In this period, living in a family where she is seen as a curse, faces more and more discrimination for not being a mother. All this while, the darker forces inside her come to live and she plans to do a ritual which involves taking bath by sitting on the baby to attain motherhood. She abducts the baby but could not perform the ritual as while holding the baby in her arms true motherhood evokes within her and she fights the darkness within her. She returns with the baby while nobody now believes her. The family disintegrates and the baby is seperated from her as she sings lullaby for him from far away.
