This intimately-constructed drama traces the consequences of the tumultuous political and social changes that swept through India in the years since pre-Independence 1937.
Аджаян был оставлен матерью в роддоме. Но далее судьба оказалась к нему благосклонна. Привязавшись к малышу, пожилой врач, уходя на пенсию, забрал Аджаяна с собой и стал воспитывать как родного сына. Однако уже в школе мальчик не смог найти общего языка со сверстниками и учителями... И как ни странно, главной причиной отчуждения был его острый ум, неординарное мышление, незаурядность. Не восхищение и желание подражать вызывал Аджаян у своих сверстников, а ненависть и раздражение..
Sridharan
The film starts in the early 1950s showing Sreedharan, the protagonist, as a very popular communist leader and trade union activist. He is forced to go underground after his name was associated with the murder of the owner of a tile factory. He is considered to be dead by his party and they even erect a memorial for him. But he makes an unexpected comeback almost 10 years later, after the first communist ministry gained and lost power in Kerala and after the Communist Party of India has split. On his return, he spends his time sleeping and drinking. His come back is first a puzzle and then an embarrassment to his comrades and family. As the disappointment on his new face grows, he is found murdered. The film ends when both the communist parties jointly celebrate his martyrdom.
