In modern Mumbai glass skyscrapers, the young widow Ratna works as a maid for Ashwin, a young man from a wealthy home, who apparently has everything it takes for a comfortable life. On the other hand, Ratna has one thing above all: the desire to work for a better life and to realize her dream of becoming a fashion designer. When Ashwin's carefully arranged storybook wedding bursts, Ratna seems to be the only one who understands Ashwin's deep melancholy. Ashwin falls in love with the housemaid, who is so withdrawn because he discovers in her a strong-willed and sensual woman who is ready to stand up for her dreams.
