The film, set in the 1980s, is the story of Huchheeri, a poor woman who makes sacrifices and undergoes great difficulties just to give her beloved ten-year-old daughter a taste of chicken curry. Deprived of motherly love at a tender age, Huchheeri is married off by her step-mother to a drunkard, separating her from her loving father and idyllic village. Huchheeri's daughter informs her of chicken curry being prepared at the chieftain's home. Huchheeri cooks some rice in the hope of getting some chicken curry to fulfill her daughter's craving just once. Since she had lost her mother at a very young age, she intends to undergo any hardship to make her daughter happy. The narration of events that happens in a span of 24 hours in Hucheeri's life represents a larger story of both traditional and modern women's struggles against injustice just to survive in the face of patriarchal and societal pressures. == Cast ==
