Two young women from a small village discuss the recent, mysterious vanishing of Leela. Is there any truth in the rumours about her death? Did she really take her own life? Or did she manage to escape and make it to the city? Roaming through their surroundings where despair is palpable, they wonder if they’ll ever find a way out themselves.
