Plot
The film’s story revolves around a family in the post-Liberation War period. A low-salaried employee before the war attempts to become wealthy quickly through black market activities and hoarding in the aftermath of the conflict. His actions are not accepted by his wife, nor by his brother and friends who were freedom fighters. Protests against hoarders begin to spread across the community. In an attempt to suppress the protests, violence breaks out, and in a tragic turn of events, a beloved niece of the family is killed.
