Rajshekar and his wife, Geeta are on the search for a new house. With the help of his aunt, the couple move into a house where the previous tenants' large bed remains. Geeta is initially against sleeping on the bed as that would cost them to inherit the previous owners' unfulfilled wishes. However, the bed is too large to be moved out of the house and the couple end up using it. Their happiness proves to be short-lived when a noisy family moves into the shed next door, keeping them awake at night. Rajshekar's work performance deteriorates as does his relationship with his wife, as his tolerance runs out. He tries all ways and means of getting rid of the family and finally succeeds. Alas, he is unable to find peace despite the fulfillment of his wish and the new-found silence proves to be deafening.

One of two feuding Mohammedan cousins living in Britain but of Indian origin seek the assistance of an Indian Barrister to travel to Britain and settle their matter in a court of law. The Barrister travels to Britain, and finds that all Asians are treated as coolies, and their status is worse than of servants. Despite of being dressed in a suit and a tie, he is thrown out of a first class train compartment; is asked to remove his cap in a court of law; asked to ride with the driver of the coach; and even shoved out on the footpath for daring to walk close to a bureaucrat's premises; beaten, and abused with no recourse to any justice. His attempts to grieve these issues is met with strong governmental and bureauctatic disapproval and opposition. Notwithstanding this, he settles the dispute between the two cousins out of court, and sets about trying to organize the local Asians to assert their rights, and even represents some of them in Court. Then he journeys to Durban, South Africa, where yet another struggle is taking place against the native Africans and the emigrant Asian community. This is where this young man summons his wife, and three children, and this is where he decides to garner support of the oppressed community to improve the lot of all people, and this is where he will find that though the laws are on his side - the people who interpret them, and legislators are opposed to any kind of fair or equal treatment that this young Barrister was asking for. The young Barrister will then re-locate to India to continue his struggle against the British - and he will soon be known and acknowledged by the world as -- Mahatma Gandhi.

Hariprobha Basu Mallik (1890-1972) of Dhaka married Japanese citizen Wemon Takeda and went to Japan in 1912. About her travel and experiences in Japan she wrote a book titled as 'Travel in Japan by a Bengalee Woman' (Bongo Mohilar Japan Jatra). Regarding travelogues on Japan the first book that comes into any Bengalee's mind is Rabindranath Tagore's well known 'Traveller to Japan' (Japan Jatri). But while Tagore wrote about the beauty and aesthetics of Japan with profound depth, Hariprobha portrayed the everyday domestic life of the common Japanese people. Japan, during the beginning of the last century, seems a different country altogether.
Hariprobha, during her last visit to Japan in 1941, used to read Bengali news from Tokyo radio for Subash Bose's Azad Hind Fouz. After the Second World War Hariprobha returned to India and died in Kolkata in 1972.
Besides narrating Hariprobha's odyssey, the film also narrates the problematics of international marriages between Japanese and Bengalees and tries to explore the cross culture issues involved.
