The film opens as a young [[Hindus|Hindu]] woman refuses to see Durga Bishorjon with her son. Bishorjon is a huge celebration, during which the two Bengals immerse their Durga idols in [[Ichamati River]], which separates them. The young mother recalls memories of a Bishorjon in her past.


After the partition of India, Bengal was divided to East Pakistan (later becoming Bangladesh) and West Bengal, a state of India. As border tensions rise, the people from either side begin drifting apart. A Hindu widow, Padma, lives in a village on the Bangladeshi side with her aging father-in-law. One day she saves a West Bengali Muslim man, Naseer, and takes care of him, who had nearly drowned in the Ichamati river during Durga Bishorjon. Naseer's presence in Bangladesh is illegal. To suppress any suspicion of his citizenship, they claim he is her cousin. Ganesh, the middle-aged jamidar of Padma's village and in love with her, grows suspicious of Naseer. Padma and Naseer wonder how a river divided people of the same ethnicity and created many differences between them, be it dialect or lifestyles.
