The story begins as Gautama, an arrogant and proud youth learns from his father that he is a foster child and the identity of his real parents are unknown. In a society ruled by castes and lineages, this shakes his off from the circle of his everyday life; he was shaken off from his ordinary easygoing life. He leaves home to find his root. What Gautama did not know is that he was going to be caught in a second home. The Prime Minister of the country admires him and the Princess falls in love with him.
