Summary
In the 1940s, while India was still a British colony, tax collectors called sudebars combed the countryside with their soldiers, and often spread terror by demanding more than taxes alone. The film explores a community's reaction to an oppressed woman's plight, as an impoverished young beauty named Sonbai spurns the sudebar's advances and takes refuge in the pepper factory.
