Gautami is an Indian Odissi Dancer whose passion in life is dance. Jai Leang is a rising Chinese painter whose paintings are highly influenced by Chinese culture. Jai is drawn to Gautami because of her grace and charm. She pays no attention to him; she doesn't believe in marriage after her father dumped her mother for another woman. Gautami travel worldwide for her shows; it's a deliberate move on her part, and she and Jai lose contact. Gary organises an exhibition of Jai's paintings in India where his search for Gautami begins. He locates her in a monastery. He pleads to make a portrait of her. That night turns out to be fateful.
