11 year-old boy Kukoi leaves his remote village from Assam to go to the close by city and work in a garage where the owner exploits him and molests him. Kukoi kills the garage owner while trying to defend himself. Sent to a detention center, he retreats into silence. Biswa Boro, the director, is an understanding social worker who gradually finds out about Kukoi’s secret. Proved non guilty, Kukoi goes back to his village with Biswa Boro who endeavors to make him smile again.
