The film centers on their "unusual love story" as they find solace in each other and eventually revolt against the dehumanizing shackles of their community to live a life of dignity.

: A young woman forced to become a Jogtin (devotee) who is subsequently treated as a sexual slave by the village.
: A man compelled by superstition to live as a Jogta , requiring him to dress in women’s clothing and suppress his masculinity.
