Manikantan Pattambi (of Marimayam fame) who has written the script, plays the main character as well, that of Thamburu, a man who is attracted to men. The point of view is from that of Venkidi (Tini Tom) a rough andhearty character who is all man - he and friends spend their days drinking, ogling women and doing everything else heterosexual men supposedly do in their small village. Thamburu, who arrives as Venkidi's new house mate, doesn't drink or ogle at women, instead loves cooking for Venkidi, cleaning the house and dressing himself up as a woman, albeit in secret, all of which makes him an object of ridicule. Thamburu develops a crush on Venkidi who is first amused, and later disturbed by his friend's possessiveness. In fact, the film is all about the multiple levels at which society tortures someone with a different sexual orientation - there is none to understand him or love him the way he wants, plenty to shun and humiliate him; and even Venkidi who means well only tries to change him to 'normal'.
