Ray takes long scenes to make us understand that the problem with Charu is not of oppresion but of freedom. She doesn't know how to cope with the ability to feel, to love another man, to write and to think. She feels all that becuase his husband neglects her as India neglects its people and teir journalistic enterprise.

The lonely wife of a newspaper editor falls in love with her visiting cousin-in-law, who shares her love for literature.
