The film depicts the tale of people who desire independence from the Pakistani occupying forces. In 1971, Bangladesh is a prison. A troupe of the Pakistani occupation forces arrives in a small sub-divisional town to renovate an airbase built during the World War II. In the presence of the army, the relation of the three friends changes. Two of them work for the country's War of Independence while the other collaborates with the Pakistani occupying forces. Overcoming the endless story of actions and reactions, the 'Call of the Red Rooster' brings the message of a new sunrise for the persecuted and oppressed people longing for independence.
