Gulikan and Maathi were married as children, and live amongst a tribe in a deep jungle settlement. Like everyone else, Gulikan must go to town for work, where the rules are brutal.

Tribal and transgender, Gulikan, living in a forest settlement, is confused about his life and existence. Married in childhood as part of their tribal custom, he lives with Maathi in a river bed settlement. Adjacent villagers and the outside world treat them abusively. Drought and poverty unsettle the tribes who are on the constant run for survival.
