In the heart of rural Bangladesh, an age-old superstition grips the villages—if a wife loses her nose ring, her husband is destined to die. When Mokhles's wife accidentally misplaces hers, panic sets in. A firm believer in this ominous belief, Mokhles reacts in the most absurd ways, even declaring to his wife, "If I die, I'll divorce you first!"
An elderly village leader reassures him that it's nothing but a baseless myth. Somewhat relieved, Mokhles tries to move on, but that very night, he has a terrifying dream—he sees himself dead, and his wife marrying another man. Convinced that he has been deceived, he believes staying with his wife will seal his fate.
Determined to save himself, Mokhles decides to send his wife back to her parents' home. But what was supposed to be a simple visit turns into a series of hilarious misadventures. A heated argument erupts between Mokhles and his father-in-law, leading to an unexpected twist—his wife storms into the police station to file a case against her own father!
What happens next? Will Mokhles ever break free from the chains of superstition, or will blind beliefs continue to dictate the fate of his village?
