Four siblings must come to terms with their personal crises as they decide what to do with their familial legacy in this drama from India. Bhagabati (Madhabi Mukherjee) is an elderly woman who has called her four adult daughters, all of whom are edging into middle age, to her estate in Calcutta. None of the sisters are looking forward to the family reunion; they all have problems of their own with husbands, lovers, children, and work, and the relationship between the siblings hasn't always been cordial. However, it turns out that their mother has more than a family get-together in mind; a distant relative of the family has come into some money and wants to buy the estate, and over the next few days they debate the pros and cons of making a tidy profit at the expense of a century and a half of the family's history. As the sisters argue their positions, a rather nasty skeleton from their closet is trundled out for all to see.
