Manju, a Nepali housemaid works in a South Indian town, thousands of kilometres from her country. Her expressionless mask of servility hides all she feels through the mundane job. When told to, she reluctantly escorts her boss’ daughter to classical dance training. Unexpectedly the rhythms of the dance infuse in Manju, an unfamiliar energy and she becomes enchanted with it. Smitten, she journeys with the art form as an audience until the social class divide pushes her away from it.
