ಪಶ್ಚಿಮ ಭಾರತದ ಕುಗ್ರಾಮದಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ಸಾವಿನ ಶೋಕಾಚರಣೆಗೆ ಹತ್ತು ದಿನ ಕಳೆಯಬೇಕಾದ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯತೆಗೆ ಒಳಗಾದ ಮೂವತ್ತನೇ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನ ನಗರವಾಸಿ ಆನಂದನ ಕಥೆಯಿದು. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನು ವಿವಾಹವಾಗದೆ ಉಳಿಯಲು ಹೋರಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ರೈತನೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಆಪ್ತತೆಯನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ದಿನಗಳು ಸಾಗಿದಂತೆ ಅವರ ನಡುವಿನ ಬಂಧನ ಭಾವನಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಹಾಗೂ ದೈಹಿಕವಾಗಿ ಗಾಢಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ಶೋಕಾವಧಿ ಮುಗಿದು ಆನಂದ ಮರಳಬೇಕಾದ ಕ್ಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ, ಈ ಹತ್ತು ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅರಳಿದ ಸಂಬಂಧ ಮುಂದುವರಿಯಬಹುದೇ ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಎದುರಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಸಬರ್ ಬೊಂಡಾ ಸಂಕಷ್ಟದ ನಡುವೆ ಮೂಡುವ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ಸಂಬಂಧಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅವುಗಳ ಭವಿಷ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಅನ್ವೇಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
