Andi is a young gypsy woman who falls in love with and marries Joga, a peasant of different caste and creed. Together they cultivate some land, but when tragedy strikes, their unscrupulous landlord conspires with the authorities to repossess Andi and Joga's land. Ignore the familiarity of the often repeated (in Bengal) story of the lower caste peasant fighting against archaic tribal and feudal systems, because you will be swept away by the honesty, beauty, and compelling structure of this very human drama.
