The daughter of a traditional, rich Indian family falls in love for a Dalit, an "untouchable" man.

Raj, a young and traveled Indian executive from a caste of merchants divided between Western and Eastern values, and Maya, a modern, studied and working Indian girl from the same caste who has always believed she would choose her husband. Raj is in love with Duda, a modern and independent Brazilian girl who suffers with the prejudice of Raj's family. Maya is in love with Bahuan, an impetuous and well-educated Indian dalit whose lack of caste turns him into a social pariah. Bahuan can't forget the humiliations he lived in his childhood for being considered impure for the Hindu society. Bound by tradition, Raj and Maya are forced to deny these loves, considered forbidden.
