The story revolves around Lakshmi, a precocious and spirited 12-year-old who is forced into marriage with a much older man named Ram. As a child bride, Lakshmi's dreams and aspirations are abruptly shattered. She is torn from her family and expected to fulfill the duties of a wife and mother, even though she is barely old enough to comprehend the implications.

As Lakshmi navigates the complexities of her new life, she finds solace in the unexpected bond she forms with Mohan, a young man who defies the social norms of his time.
