Adomya is the story of Juri, a single mother of a girl. She has to face the brunt of widowhood after just 6 months of being married to a young engineer, who dies after being infected with AIDS. She also tests positive for HIV and is thrown out of her in-laws' home even though she is pregnant. Arriving at her birthplace, she goes through ordeals, being socially boycotted for being a HIV patient.

 

Even her new-born child is ostracised by the villagers although she has tested negative for. Through sheer determination and resilience, Juri brings up her daughter, Jonak, and prevents her from being affected by the false pride of middle-class snobbery. Poignantly related in a subtle joined-up flashback and flash forward, Adomya is an introspection of mother-daughter relationship that shows the life of a young AIDS survivor in an urban, hostile milieu.
