Dawan longs to leave her village for the allure of the big city, but she faces customs that expect girls to be betrothed young to someone they loathe and that treat their education as unnecessary. Her path to a scholarship means going against her father's wishes and upsetting her brother by beating him on a local examination. Meanwhile, an unscrupulous landlord threatens the village, trying to drive everyone off the land for profit.
