Rakeshwar Bora, a simple Assamese farmer, faces ruin when a greedy landlord deceitfully claims his ancestral land by demanding a mortgage receipt that was never provided.

His ultimate humiliation occurs when financial desperation forces him to hang political banners praising the very man who destroyed his livelihood.
