Spoilers ahead

In a quiet Konkan village set in 1946, a middle‑aged cultivator named Naroba Dilip Prabhavalkar tends his coconut grove alongside his young grandson, Srujan Watve. The village’s powerful landlord, Rangarao Khot, is a flirtatious and ruthless figure who stops his palanquin to chase a passing woman—only to discover that the woman is a trans person. Shocked and oddly entranced, he wanders toward Naroba’s grove, mesmerized by its beauty and decides to prepare it for a grand tamasha that very night. Naroba, who had long tended the grove, refuses to surrender what his father had saved for him after it was given by the landlord’s own predecessor for saving a life during a hunting trip. The tension escalates as the landlord threatens to kill Naroba to seal the transfer of ownership.
