The film tells the story of Snehamoy (Rahul Bose), a lonely man who finds comfort exchanging letters with Miyage(Chigusa Takaku), a woman based in Japan. Their friendship blossoms into love, and the pair exchange wedding vows through their written correspondence. Meanwhile, a young widow named Sandhya (Raima Sen) comes to stay with Snehamoy, along with her 8-year-old son, Poltu.
