Rupa and Maya (11) are best friends in a village where class discrimination and patriarchy is still very much the norm. One belongs to a Brahmin (upper) caste while other a Dalit (untouchable) caste. Everyone else makes them feel that they are different from one another, but what matters to them is their unconditional love and friendship. Throughout the day, wherever they go, villagers keep reminding them of their caste difference. The discrimination fuels in them a feeling of outrage, though they are too young to have the vocabulary to shut down the naysayers. Burdened with guilt, and having experienced an overwhelming epiphany about her love towards Rupa, Maya rebels, scandalizing the villagers.
