Mayi and her best friend Nad leave their village, Benares, to go to Port Louis in order to find two women. They meet an old man who offers to drive them in his pick-up truck. On the road, they meet two prostitutes, give them a ride, and drive quietly back to Benares, looking like they are going nowhere. As the pick-up takes them back to their village, they evoke the other Benares, that sacred city in India where Hindus go to die to earn their place in paradise.
