Queen Sudarshana is married to a king who meets her only in a chamber without light, and she longs to see him by day. Mistaking a handsome pretender for her lord, she sets off a chain of rivalry among neighbouring kings, fire in the palace and a long, humbling search, while festival crowds in the streets argue over whether their ruler exists at all.
