Qala Manjushree has just won the Golden Vinyl, and journalists ask her about her brother; she answers that she has none. Her mother, Urmila, gives birth to twins, and the boy does not survive. Urmila teaches Qala music and warns her against the life of a courtesan, and locks her out in the snow over a coming performance. Few people attend that performance, and the orphan Jagan, singing there, draws Urmila's attention; she brings him home to live with them. Qala is jealous of him and is troubled by visions of the brother who did not survive; a doctor advises her to rest.
