Habol a photographer from the Samsan ground found his love and hid his love from others. One night, extremely excited Habol and Labonyo played when Sugna, Habol's friend got to see Habol playing alone like a mad in the moonlit field. 'Guru' Kanakda and his strangeness never left Habol. He inherited the magic of lens and shutter along with Kanakda's loneliness and mis-happenings. Life without woman was easy because of his friends from the crematorium, near to which Habol set his Shamshankali Studio. Habol specialised in taking photos of the dead before they are cremated. In the passage of time, Labonyo, a mysterious woman with mesmerising looks entered Habol's life like a splash of hurricane. Habol was swept in the wind of love. His friends and assistant became alien to him as he tried to avoid them as far as possible only to be with Labonyo. The feeling of loosing Labonyo kept Habol frightened which became a reality for Habol when Sugna, the tea seller saw Habol running in the woods, playing with someone, whom he can't see. Friends gathered in Habol's studio and felt something fishy. He was forcefully taken to hospital. After returning from the hospital Habol was kept in Palda's house who was judgemental about Habol's past love with Labonya. Slowly this became obnoxious to Habol. A sweet evening turned fatal for Palda as his remarks drew tears in the eyes of Labonyo whose presence was unknown to Palda. Both Habol and Labonya fled. But in the nebulas vision of dawn one can only see one pair of foot prints on the muddy road and a dead body in the room, that of Palda.
