In Dhaka, Bangladesh, RUBAIYAT “RUBA” SADIA (17) is being prepped for an arranged marriage by her MOTHER (40s). Ruba is depressed by the idea of being given away to a man. Regardless, she is soon matched with and wed to a man named QAYYUM CHOWDHURY (40s).
Three years later, Ruba is trapped in an abusive marriage and often experiences physical abuse at the hands of Qayyum, who is frustrated by his inability to have sex with Ruba due to erectile dysfunction. Ruba tries to voice the fact that she does not love Qayyum to her mother, but her mother is unmoved. Later, while at a party, an OLD MAN (70s) asks who Ruba is. Unsure, Ruba can only respond that she is Qayyum’s wife.
It is revealed that Qayyum is involved in criminal operations. Among the many men at his disposal is a driver named HASAN MURAD (20s). Frequently tasked with driving Ruba, the two of them fall in love. Eventually, Ruba discovers that she is pregnant. She tells Hasan, and after some debate over what they should do, they decide to keep the child, steal away from Qayyum, and run away to India.
