After Vavachan’s sudden and shocking departure, Eeshi earnestly arranges for his father’s funeral; he wants it to be performed with due respect, with all the usual rituals, colorful paraphernalia and celebrations that go with it. But this simple gesture of love and respect of a son for his father, meets with unpredictable obstacles and unseemly reactions from different quarters. over everything.
