A successful high society doctor has to treat a peasant in a village and realises that, despite the progress made by medical science, many basic treatments are far beyond the reach of common people in India.

Uttoran sharply captures the social issues arising from economic disparity through the moral awakening of an affluent doctor when he is confronted by the reality where witchcraft is preferred to medical treatments. Directed by Sandip Ray and written by his father, the Indian auteur Satyajit Ray.
