TUC enters the inner world of Radha, 12 years old, surrounded by parents, grandparents and servants, and an emphasis on education which defines her everyday. Radha has only passing contact with Sundar, a servant boy in her house. Sundar runs away and when she meets him many years later, Radha considers that he might be more free than she is.
