Bantu, a ten-year-old boy in a small town, enjoys his friendship with Avneesh, a teenager who takes him kite flying and shows him around the village while working on his motorcycle. Avneesh frequently visits the local bazaar, where Bantu notices a pretty girl often appears. Avneesh is smitten with her, whom he calls "Mrityu" ("Death"), but struggles to talk to her. He asks Bantu to deliver a message. As Bantu acts as a go-between for the two, he comes to admire "Mrityu"'s beauty and grace, and starts to share his friend's feelings for her.
