The heroin has no name.Her only name as the prisoner.Her wait for result for her crime. The husband name is Joerge.Her crime is murder,her two childrens namely -Sona & Mona.
The story bigins in the court of law and we are given a glimpse of the prisoner and the judge.We don't know why the prisoner is there or the gravity of the crime.But we are given an indication that the sentence could be even capital punishment as the black cap sits dangerously on the table.We are given an extensive picture of the judge and the thoughts that go through the mind of the prisoner.
From the court we are moved to the home of the prisoner.There is the very clear scene in which Sona-Mona are taking bath.Sona is not up to four feet tell as she can stand under the tap which is four feet above the ground.Mona has to sit in an iron tub for her bath.We are not given their specific ages or sizes.
We are know taken further back to the incidents leading to the prisoner and her husband getting married.The man Joerge did not want to marry as he had no job,but finally decides to marry because of the pressure from his grandmother.He loses his first job coal merchant because the coal merchant's head assistant's nephew is given that post.
Now we are back home with the prisoner and her husband.The husband has high fever and the prisoner advise him to see a doctor.But their poverty is depicted.He has to use old discarded shaving blades again by sharpening them on a stone to shave off his beard.He coughs and spit out blood.The doctor says the sickness is gone too far and no hope for the man.

Now we are in hospital where the prisoner is waking up.Her suicide attempt has faild.Again we are in court.The prisoner wants death sentence.She praying for that as she wants to join her husband and her children in the world of the dead.The hand of the judge moves towards the cap.Will he done it? There is suspence!.Then finally comes the judgement - imprisonment for four years......The prisoner prays for madness.She can hear the voices of her childrens Sona & Mona- their crying and laughing......
