Calcutta, the Capital City of West Bengal, the Eastern State of India. The period is 1970-72. The city is in the grip of a leftist militant movement, popularly known as the 'Naxalbri Movement'.
Sujata Chetterji is a middle aged, traditional, submissive, unprotesting, upper middle class lady, employed in a commercial bank in Calcutta. She awakens one early morning to the shattering news that her youngest and favourite son, Brati, is lying dead in the police morgue, reduced to a mere numerical: Corpse No. 1084. This awakening propels her on a journey of discovery, in the course of which, struggling to understand her namalite son's revolutionary commitment, she begins to recognize her own alienation as a woman and wife from the complacent, hypocritical bourgeoisie society her son had rebelled against.
In an attempt to regain a sense of self from the intense psychological and emotional trauma, Sujata, as a mother, gains some deep insights into the complex relationship between the personal and the political.
