Arimpara

Arimpara (, "The Wart"; alternate title A Story That Begins at the End) is a 2003 Indian body horror film directed by Murali Nair. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. It won the John Abraham Award for Best Malayalam Film in 2003.

Plot

Based on O.V. Vijayan's story of the same name, the movie is about Krishnan Unni and his wart. Krishnan Unni is a landlord living happily with his wife and son. He comes from a family that is well-respected in the village. However, things have changed now; labourers are no more the bonded slaves who used to bend over for their landlords. Krishnan Unni still lives in the past glory days and refuses to change with time. The story takes a "Kafkaish" turn when a wart in his face takes a life of its own. What happens to Krishnan Unni forms the rest of the story.
