In a quiet Tamil village, Seetha leads a simple life with her father, who teaches Tamil at the local school. After Seetha’s elder sister ends her life under the weight of dowry harassment from her husband’s family, the family struggles to find a suitable match for Seetha, hampered by poverty and social expectations. When her father finally meets Ram, a bank employee, he introduces him to Seetha, and after a short courtship, the two decide to marry.
Ram’s mother never accepts Seetha, resenting the lack of a dowry and repeatedly insulting her. Despite the taunts, Seetha endures out of love for Ram, but tragedy strikes when her father, unable to bear the mistreatment his daughter endures, takes his own life.
