Synopsis

Kusuma is the voice of a voiceless woman in a polluted system who is struggling with the effects of a male-dominated society. Her father was a cultured, caring man who had a dream of making his daughter a doctor, but he passed away before he could realize this dream. Now, Kusuma is under the care of her uncle and aunt, with her son as her future fiancé. However, tragedy strikes when the financial crisis hit and Kusuma was forced to drop her doctor career to take a nursing one. She then gets a government job on compensatory grounds for her father. However, her colleagues under the influence of bribery, theft, and character assassination trap and destroy her career. She records her feelings and statement about the situation in a video and sends it to DHO daughter, explaining what happened to her.
