On the week of local elections in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an upaid government loan. Desperate they seek help from an apathetic local politician, who suggests they commit suicide to benefit from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to do what needs to be done for the sake of their families, a media frenzy ingnites around whether or not Natha will commit suicide.
