Samar, a young trainee journalist, comes to interview Basanta Koomar Roy in his apartment in New York city, sometime in 1948. Basanta is excited to share his experience on his activities as an Indian nationalist freedom fighter in USA. But Samar tells him that he is interested in knowing about his experience with Rabindranath Tagore, since he was the first to write Tagore's biography in English for the American people. Basanta refuses to talk about his Gurudev until Samar uses his ultimate weapon that opens the flood gates of memories and emotions of this old admirer of Tagore.
