Plot

The film narrates story of a Malayali couple, Ravunni Nair (Nedumudi Venu) and Saraswathi Amma (Sharada), who were colleagues teaching in the same school who eventually married, when the former was 45 and the latter was 40. The greatest sorrow of their life is that they are childless. After retirement, Maya (Parvathy) comes to stay with them. She was a friend's daughter with whom Saraswathi Amma had stayed during her earlier teaching career. Maya has a place at a local college and is in search of a place for boarding and lodging as well as guardians. Maya, motherless for long, brings with her some cheer. The old couple almost adopt her as their daughter and Maya reciprocates.
