Story

In the 1980s, a renowned storyteller (a "Kadhikan") currently earns a living at the sawmill, hiding the performer in him due to his dire circumstances. A 17 year old in a juvenile home wishes to learn from him with the support of the Superintendent. His desire to learn the art form reignites the storyteller's faith in the same. Over a short span of time, the relationship between the Kadhikan and the boy becomes a bond unlike any other, unfolding new dimensions in both their lives.
