Synopsis

Poochi is an affable basket seller who lives with his grandson, Kumaresan, in a small hut on the land of his landlord, Vellaiyan. Kumaresan’s parents were killed in a caste riot a few years ago and now Poochi cares for the orphaned boy whom he wishes to see succeed in the future. Hence, he does all kinds of jobs to save money and put Kumaresan in a private school. His relationship with one of the landowners in the area, of a higher caste, at whose service he puts himself to achieve his goal will, however, be the origin of a conflict that will jeopardize his aspirations.
