While Afghan warlord Ahmed Shah Abdali plunders 18th century Delhi, a wandering storyteller fleeing the carnage happens across an isolated casbah. When the beautiful and lonely lady of the manor invites him to stay and share a story, his grief at the destruction of the city spills forth in a story of two brothers.
