The story evolves on the background of Keonjhar, which is a forest and mineral rich district of the State.
It narrates how a single incident in the life of a President-Award winning retired Headmaster has demolished the normal go of life of his son, who is a zealous foot ball player and a fine flutist.
When Tapan Kanungo is acting as the retired Headmaster, Anita Das is in the role of his wife. As against Satyajyoti Das in the lead male role, Manishita Das, daughter of veteran actor Ajit Das, is in the female lead role.
