Synopsis

A contemporary social drama that deals with urban migrant lives. In Kerala, South India, Rudra, a migrant idol-maker from Bengal, desperate for his uncle's cremation, and Chaavi, a tough Tamil midwife who moonlights as a funeral priest, forge a fragile bond that is threatened when she is accused of a heinous crime. Rudra, who works as a construction worker, wants a better life. Chaavi wants to find her roots. Despite their differences, they want to make a life together, but something in their past hinders them.
