In a society where the recognition of women goes no more than the boundaries of bearing a child, Xuntora finds herself caught in a strong cyclical struggle. After crossing over her childhood, she is married off to a man who thought wealthy, is crude and egoistic. It is during this phase of womanhood does she realise how restricted she is for being a woman. However, her husband is killed for taking the virginity of a girl from the tea community. She returns to her maternal house with her son and sees herself in a similar situation as her grandmother. Her every action from here on is to create a significant identity for herself and withstand all the hurdles that blow her way.
