In a village in Central India, the poor farmer Natha is unable to repay a loan and fears losing his families’ land. But his brother Budhia has a plan to win it back. He hears of a government program which offers the family of any farmer committing suicide a compensation of 100,000 rupees and convinces his sibling into agreeing to commit suicide. This sets in motion a chain of events which finds Natha in the eye of a storm. The local big wigs, the state government, high ranking bureaucrats, federal ministers and the national media all become stakeholders in the mad circus that erupts.
