Oh, Holy Mother!

This is the issue

if we come here!

Won't let someone sleep in peace!

I was hoping to sleep in

peace at least this time!

Let her sing, dear.

Aren't they our neighbours?

I wasn't saying she shouldn't.

But not at the crack of dawn!

This'd be treated as public

nuisance in the States.

Here, though,

anything's possible!

Damn God's own Country!

Please wake me up if I doze off.

I need to go jogging.

Ah, fine.

Where's he? Hasn't

Josekutty woken up yet?

Are the kids up?

I'm going to wake them.

Mom...

Kunjumol...

Kunjumol...

Get up.

Get up, dear.

Hey, it isn't sweet.

Should've brought

sugar yesterday!

Why are you getting

angry for that?

No memory, no clue.

Kids, wake up.

Come on, get up.

In the name of the Father, and of the

Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Good morning, Grandma.

Grandma...

Mwah!

Both of you, go

and brush your teeth.

Kunjumon, call your brother.

I would have

slept a little longer.

What's your problem, Mom?

-Oh, are you up? -Yes, Mummy.

Even the rooster

is just now crowing.

Good morning.

Stop admiring

yourself in the mirror

and go help your

father with the light!

Mom, I have got

to finish a project.

He and his never-ending projects!

Couldn't you have gone to bed

after finishing it yesterday?

How can he?

Keep watching all the

films that come on TV,

both grandma and grandson!

Dad...

Kunjumol...

Get me that emergency light.

Did you sleep well?

Are you feeling sleepy?

Come.

Walk.

Come on.

You didn't drink mom's black

coffee today either, did you?

You saw that, Dad?

There! Your friend

is calling you.

Come on, go.

Hi, Manikutty.

Dad,

how about we set up our

Christmas crib here this time?

Why not? Let's do it.

Show me your mouth.

Give me that.

Drink that quickly

before your mom notices.

Look, Dad.

A comet!

Isn't Christmas

coming up, Kunjumol?

That's the comet

guiding the shepherds

to the baby Jesus.

"SWARGAM" [HEAVEN]

Don't give me that look.

It's green tea. Don't you want

to reduce your cholesterol?

If this continues, I'll die from

not having enough cholesterol!

Open that gate.

What was the password?

Why don't you remember

that, Annieamma?

I remember it. Yeah, I remember.

What's the password, she asks!

Jesus, please

let that be correct.

South... North...

Didn't you run south yesterday?

Then, run north today.

Which way is the north?

That way.

I'm okay with south.

I knew that's what you were

going to do!

[An English song plays]

Don't run. Kunjumol!

Christie!

Stop there.

There goes my towel! Give it back.

Stop playing around.

Give it here.

Cicily, get me the towel.

Yeah, give me a minute.

Drink all the water

in your bottle.

Grandma...

was my dad a soldier before?

Oh, sure, ask her that!

When his marriage proposal came,

he said he was going

to be an army man.

And I believed him!

Don't make fun of him.

If it weren't for his

father's pressure,

my son would've been

a Lieutenant Colonel today.

Do you know that?

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel, huh!

Hey, Dad!

Stop lathering up

again and again!

Go away!

Eat it!

I don't like dosa.

You don't like dosa, huh?

Here, eat up.

Mom, do you only make dosa every day?

Yes, I do.

You shouldn't talk like that.

You wouldn't have even seen

this kind of food in our times!

A house had 8-10 children.

Nobody cared to feed

you like this back then.

Grandma...

Hey!

The struggles of dealing with these kids!

Eat it.

Dad, please stop getting

dirt and dung on my uniform.

Same here.

The kids tease me

every day at school

because of my dirty uniform.

I even have a nickname.

Did you know that, Dad?

What's your nickname?

Farmer.

No one should tease Kunjumol.

Farmer means someone who

works on a farm. I know that.

Oh, you knew that?

They call you Farmer?

Stop!

Take these eggs to your shop.

Josekutty, give me at least the

money for these in the evening.

Sure, I will.

And for me too. -Okay.

You'll get it if you

don't break the eggs.

Mom, there's a hen's feather

-on your head. -Where?

Come here. That's not surprising!

Your mother lives in the cattle

shed and the chicken coop!

Go and get some rest, dear.

-Tata! -Tata, Mom.

Bye, Mummy. See you.

Look, you've got dirt on you.

Now you're a farmer too.

Dad, tell him to stop.

Quiet down, man.

He always teases me.

Don't tease my kid.

Yes, Dad. He teases me too.

Is that so?

Dad, don't make the jeep jerk.

The eggs will break.

Okay, Madam!

Dad, let's trade this jeep

-for a Thar. -Thar? -Hmm, Thar!

Tell him to get a pickup

truck or a lorry, Kunjumon.

That's what Dad

likes, right, Dad?

Dad likes the army man's gypsy.

Isn't that true, Dad?

Dad told me this.

Christina, don't break the eggs.

You'll get a good

beating from mom.

It won't break in my hands.

Dad, Kunjumon is

leaving for a trip this Friday.

Where are you going this time?

Mysore, Bangalore, Ooty.

It's a three-day trip, Dad.

We went to the same

places last year too.

Is that all they know?

-Always these places. -Exactly!

How about we all go on a trip?

-Eh? -That sounds great.

Don't forget in the end.

Will your dad

forget? Will I, dear?

No.

Everyone, get down.

Come on, get out. Move it.

Hey, be careful with the eggs.

Yes, farmer!

Girl, look at that!

Looks like I'm getting

a nickname too!

Go.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hello!

Mathew is an

ex-havildar in the army;

Indian Army!

"PADINJAREPARAMBIL STORES"

Look, your "boss" has

started his work, Dad.

Watch and learn-

Ah, master is here!

his responsible nature.

Josekutty, good morning.

Hold it.

Christo, dear. Are

you going to college?

Nah, to the movies!

Eh? Movies?

Don't skip classes.

Try to study well.

Everyone has the same comment.

Now should I start

listening to his advice too!

Ah! The college

bus arrived early.

Oh, the villain is here as well!

Bennychan.

Can't even walk because

of these Taurus tippers.

Isn't this their time?

Our time hasn't come yet.

Pillechan!

Get me a tea with

plenty of sugar.

My sugar levels drop

after I finish jogging.

Here's your tea.

Oh, was it already made?

And in a disposable cup!

-Of course! -Hey, Josekutty!

Everyone here has started using disposable

cups and sanitiser because of Corona.

We're already used

to this in the States.

See you tomorrow, Father.

Alright, then, Father.

-Father is here. -Good morning!

Ah, Father! Good morning.

No need to check the watch,

Vakkachan. I'm five minutes late.

Josekutty, you need

to watch your weight.

Come with me for a morning walk.

Wow, great!

Shouldn't he get some time for that

after getting out of this jeep, Father?"

By the way, we don't see

the band set guys these days.

Don't they practice anymore?

They should find time to practice

after their painting work.

Isn't it the season now?

Does band practice have a season too?

Not a practice season,

it's the painting season.

Because its sunny

and the climate.

I see that in the

advertisements on TV.

Where did Shaji go?

He went on a ride.

Tell him I asked about him.

Alright, I'm leaving.

Okay then, Father.

Vakkachan,

about the money

collection for our chapel...

Oh, Father! I'll take

care of it. You may leave.

That'll do.

What people say about Fr. Sony is true.

He'll smile first, then squeeze out money later.

Leave it.

Josekutty, do you have any brindle berry?

Yes.

Hey! What do you call

brindle berry in Hindi?

Bro, 250 grams of brindle berry.

Yes, sir. Brindle berry.

Man, is this rice coloured?

Cut it out.

We don't do that here.

I was just kidding, man.

Josekutty, note this down.

-Yes, sir. -Note it down?

Will you get it back?

This business has been

here since my father's time.

I go to the market on the

day the pension comes.

Eappachen sir wouldn't miss that.

In my memory,

Kochu Chacko's shop was the first

grocery store at this junction.

There's just one issue-

it hasn't changed

since its beginning.

He made you take over the shop

after you finished Class 10.

And what happened?

Your studies were sacrificed.

Man, in all this time,

besides putting up that

"Padinjareparambil" sign,

have you made any progress? Huh?

Corporates are opening supermarkets on

every corner and making big profits.

Do this now. Tear down this shop

and start a supermarket.

The one thing that

hasn't changed in Kerala-

the sound of the honking!

Vakkachan sir, I've brought

some good quality kingfish.

Fresh?

Look, they are still squirming.

Yeah, squirming when

you caught it last week!

This is big.

Weigh it.

How much is it?

It's only 6.200 kilos.

Alright, then.

Cut it in half, head included and drop it home.

Okay.

-Got it? -Yes.

Josekutty, I've got

some good fatty sardines.

Shall I give one and a

half kilos at the house?

-Do they have roe? -Of course.

My kids love sardines.

They'll eat rice if

there's sardine fry.

Sardines are the best.

Full of Omega 3 and antioxidants.

Sardine paste is in high

demand in the States.

A small tin costs 10

dollars-- no, 5 dollars.

Here, you get two kilos

of sardines for 250 rupees.

Quite a deal.

I don't know why, but

I can't stand its smell. Horrible!

Sukumaran, give that at home.

Yes, I will.

Bro! Brindle berry.

-Hey! -Here.

Throw that in the waste bin.

Can't you have a waste bin here?

Here, sir.

We should learn from waste

management in the States.

Josekutty, see you tomorrow.

Sure.

You could've hit me now.

Idiot.

Did he leave?

He never gives me rides.

He came for jogging, man.

Throw that away.

This is the new reel we made.

It's good.

Nice.

Did you see? There are 5k views.

Look. How is this step?

It's good.

Who selects all these songs?

I'll try calling her.

I'm outside the gate, dear.

Yes Sister! Password...

Will open now!

Looks like I'll have to wait here

until he returns from his jog, ugh!

Oh, here he is!

Panting and sprinting!

Will this man ever

leave the gate open!

I've never seen such a

gate at any other house!

Oh, Jesus!

Sister, you could

have called her.

I did call her.

She tried several times as well.

Nothing worked.

She might have

forgotten the password.

Oh, God!

-It opened! -Come.

You made her wait outside

again today, didn't you?

Don't worry, sister. We'll

figure out another way.

Here is the brindle berry.

-Never remembers a thing! -Sorry.

-Oh no! -What's it?

I forgot to turn on

the water heater.

Fresh fish! Good fish!

Kingfish! Pearl spot fish!

How are you? All good?

Ugh, all very well and good!

Get me the fish.

Here, take it.

Rajesh, start the vehicle.

Sardine! Mackerel!

Fresh Pearl spot! Kingfish!

Kingfish costs 1500 rupees.

Even mutton isn't this expensive.

Sister, add some brindle

berries and make a killer curry.

I'll set some aside for frying.

It'll be fantastic marinated with

green peppercorns before frying.

The fish moilee you

made last time I visited-

Wow! That was amazing!

We have tapioca here, but

it's not suitable for steaming.

It has a slight hardness.

Let's chop it into pieces and

make a seasoned mash, right, dear?

Wow! Tapioca and fish curry

would be perfect together!

Annieamma,

I have a Zoom meeting with

the Global Malayali Association.

I'm going to attend it. Also,

today's the day the container

should go to the States.

Check the details

in the mail. Sister,

make that curry rock, okay?

Hey,

I've discussed your

son's matter with him.

He will take care of everything.

As for the gate incident,

it wasn't intentional.

I didn't mean to leave

you standing outside.

Last time you visited,

the table was full of

beef and mutton dishes.

Why this sudden

fondness for fish?

We did a blood test the

last time he visited and left.

His cholesterol was at 300. We

even ended up doing an angiogram.

Her magazine!

Are you reading the magazine while eating?

There it goes!

Indecent fellow!

Sister, your fish

curry is awesome.

Nah, the flavours haven't

even infused well yet.

Ugh, nothing will infuse on that tongue!

It's immersed well.

Hey! Where are you going? Eh?

Come and have some

tapioca and fish curry.

She made it with so much love.

I don't want it.

Will the kids these days ever understand

the taste of dishes like these?

Did you see the time he's

getting up? It's almost noon!

Can you pass me

the fish fry, dear?

Thanks.

Dear,

don't take the fish fry.

Have some oats.

Let me take a carrot, dear.

What is it?

It's a burger, Papa.

A new TFC started in town.

It's from there.

Heard that? A burger! Pft!

Does anyone other

than you eat this?

They place a piece of chicken

between two slices of bread,

then they'll squeeze in

sliced tomatoes and onions.

And idiots like him

buy and eat that!

The brains of these Westerners!

Why are you dissing

the Westerners now?

That's because-- our regional

dishes are the best. That's why.

Ugh, oats!

But their oats are good.

Look, how's this? It's the new one.

Great. Nice.

I liked this one. -Did you see it?

Nice video.

There are many. -It's nice, right?

This one's better.

-Hey, Ramshi! -Hi! -Come, sit.

Did you see this?

-Look. -Shall we do it like this?

Nimmy, can't you stop

making such pathetic reels?

Get lost! Go sit in a library!

Yeah, I'm heading there.

-Want to join me? -Buzz off!

Shall we try this one?

That'll be fantastic!

How about during the lunch break?

Okay, fine.

Nimmy, haven't I told you several

times not to talk to Praveen?

Isn't he our batch-mate? How

can I not go when he calls?

Also, Ramshi is my

friend Soya's brother.

Nimmy, you're rocking it on Instagram.

Thanks, dear.

They were teasing you.

Their activities

aren't that proper.

I'm just putting it out there.

For now, don't try to

correct their actions.

Focus on your own.

What's wrong with me?

Am I not the best

student in this college?

I'm also the captain of the

cricket team, the quiz team,

and the leader of the music team.

I'm not just a nerd like you!

The music team you mentioned

only functions because of me,

Nimmy George Kulathungal.

Just remember that.

Oh, Ms. Nightingale!

By the way, reach the

church early tomorrow.

If you're late for

choir practice,

Father Puthankaduppil

will give you an earful.

Keep an eye on him.

-Hey, Nimmy! -What's up?

-The New Year Sale

has started on Amazon.

You can get a good deal

on an iPhone if you buy now.

Is that true, Niya?

I've already added a

few items to my cart.

Oh, sure, your dad will

definitely let you buy it!

No one even dares to deliver

to your place because of him!

If we tell our parents we need

something, they bring up old stories

of how they didn't get

anything while growing up!

When we ask them to buy

us Crocs, they whine about

not getting Lunar

slippers back then!

I thought this only

happened in my house.

But parents are the

same everywhere.

What can we do about them

not getting anything back then?

Hey, kids!

What's wrong with your parents?

Oh, no! Advice Granny heard us!

Because they walked

in rubber slippers,

you guys today walk

in expensive sandals!

Oh, no! Grandma! Let's

go this way. Escape!

Did you hear what Father said?

Because they didn't travel much,

you get to go

anywhere in the world.

Just because your

parents said something-

Grandma!

Mom, come on, let's leave before

the kids start turning against you.

Yeah, let's go then.

Okay, then.

Come.

-Let's go. -Thank God!

Oh, God, most merciful,

please bless these

products laid out for auction.

Grant prosperity and peace to those

who use them according to Your will.

In the name of the Father, and of

the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Here, Father. Take it.

First class rooster.

Three hundred rupees!

Well matured country rooster, 400 rupees!

The auction is heating up!

That's no country rooster.

That's a Giriraja breed.

400 going once!

400 going twice!

500 rupees!

-500! -Kizhakkel James for 500!

-500. Come on! -600 rupees!

Mattathil Ousephachan for 600!

Come on! Come on!

It's a first quality

well-bred rooster.

Vakkachan, aren't you getting in?

I don't need chicken.

Vakkachan, it's a

good country chicken.

Come on, Vakkachan. Bid higher.

No, Father. It's country chicken,

right? I've got cholesterol.

Let the vegetables come

up for auction. I'll join then.

The rooster Vakkachan doesn't need, 600!

700 rupees!

Yeah, 700!

James calls 700!

Kizhakkel James for 700!

700 going once!

-Going once! -800 rupees!

Mattathil Ousephachan!

800!

Mattathil Ousephachan for 800!

-1000! -Ah!

James calls 1000!

Kizhakkel James have raised it to 1000.

-1000! -1000 going once!

-1100 rupees! -1100 going once!

Going twice! Going thrice!

The highlight of this auction-

Pulickal Georgekutty's lamb.

4000 rupees!

Locally bred and fed

on jackfruit leaves!

4000 rupees!

5000 rupees from my end!

Ah! Padinjareparambil Jose-

Josekutty for 5000 rupees!

6000 rupees!

There! Kurisingal Tony for 6000!

Josekutty bids 7000!

-Hey, Josekutty! -What is it?

Look before you leap.

Do you want it?

Nah, it's goat. That's

also cholesterol.

-8000! -Tony bids 8000!

Then, Josekutty bids 9000!

Hey, Father, if you're starting on the

veggies, do that. Else, I'll leave.

It's been almost three hours!

Oh, dear, Vakkachan! Fine, it is sold!

Josekutty for 10,000 rupees!

Going once, going

twice, going thrice!

Ten thousand?

Wonderful!

Does nobody want it?

Bid higher.

Father played you, didn't he?

Yeah, he did.

What has he planned for me, though?

Vakkachan, don't give

up on the raw plantain.

Buzz off!

Do you need this?

You may keep it.

First quality snake

gourd for Vakkachan!

Eh, brake?

Keep the steering wheel steady!

How can I apply brakes when

this thing doesn't have any?

Hey, sister! Move away!

Straight!

Apply the brakes.

This crap doesn't have brakes!

Move that tail from my face.

-I saw it. -Reduce the speed.

Your mom will kill me for this!

Oh, sure, she's just waiting to kill you!

Can you keep quiet for a while?

-Let me concentrate. -Hey, hey-

Left, towards the left. Left.

Don't turn. Don't.

Reduce the speed and turn left.

Dad, don't turn the wheel. I'll do it.

Turn it.

We will fall into the stream.

-There, we go. -Look and drive.

Yes, I'm applying the brakes.

It's the slope. Go slowly.

-Go slowly. There are

people- -Move in here.

There are people. Hit the brakes.

Br--brake--hit the brakes.

Argh, narrow miss.

What was that?

Seems like some issue with the vehicle.

Issue, pft!

Dear,

get in. I'll drop you home.

Thank you, Josekutty, but I

need to stop by Rincy's house.

Ah, cool!

Did you get the

lamb at the auction?

No, we're just giving it a ride!

Okay, dear.

Give my regards to George sir.

Sure, I will.

-Get the vehicle. -I will.

Or you hold the lamb, and I'll drive.

No, I'll drive.

Ugh, where are you going?

Put it in first gear.

Yes, start. Come on, first gear.

Put it in first gear.

Isn't it in first?

Yes, go.

Ah, success!

-I'll take it. -Here.

How about we make our

next reel with Josekutty's lamb?

What do you think?

Good.

This-- Shall we shoot it there?

Then let's set the

phone up there.

Come on, hurry.

Mummy!

What's wrong with you, man?

Why are you following

these girls on your bike?

Look,

I was in the service for

over twenty-five years.

Do you know what's

happening in society?

If we get worried over

that, can we raise girls?

This isn't the old times.

Try to understand that.

Can the girls walk freely

on the roads these days?

I'm not ready to watch

the evening debate

"Nimmy's Missing"

on the news channel!

Damn! Why do

policemen end up like this?

Something is wrong

with your brain!

Better start the treatment now.

The issue isn't with me, but you!

Who is that?

-What is it? -Hello,

which is Thondiyil

Thomachan's house?

Which Thondi? I don't know.

Go to the road and inquire!

Isn't that the house on the road

up? Couldn't you have told him that?

You didn't get it. He didn't

come here to ask for the route.

Perps roaming around!

He doesn't know me!

I know everything. Got me?

Come here.

Have you checked those girls' rooms? It's

filled with photos of Chinese people!

Oh, no! The mighty Mom!

Josekutty, haven't I told you to not

let this kid sit behind the wheel?

Then how will he learn to drive?

He said he can't sit

there holding the lamb.

How much did you pay for this?

Five thousand.

Ten.

-What's it? -Nothing.

Did you pay this month's

chit money for Mathrudeepthi?

Why didn't you give her the money?

Is it me who should give it?

Are you not satisfied with the

cow and hens we have here!

Should I bring an elephant, then?

-Wow, a lamb! -Here, you go.

A lamb!

-Dolly! -Did you name it already?

This belonged to

Pulickal Georgekutty.

That was the name he gave her.

You give her the name you like.

There's one more thing.

Nice work, son. After all,

goat's milk is the best for kids.

A mother to support

anything and everything!

There comes the next thing.

A hen for you, Grandma.

Nice.

Isn't this my hen?

The one I offered to the church?

You bought that back?

How will I know that?

I thought it's a first-quality

rooster that lays eggs. Oh, no--

I mean, hen.

I give you her eggs

daily to sell at the shop!

You were better off in the

army than being like this!

Cicily...

How do I know it's ours?

I'll die of all this work!

-Mom! -What's it, man?

Hey, Annieamma!

Won't come when called!

Annieamma!

Yes, I'm coming.

-See. Vegetables. -Good God!

This looks like a vegetable shop!

All these are organic.

Made with ashes and dung manure.

Even these eggs?

Er... not the eggs.

The taro, yam, and other veggies.

You should've been

at today's auction.

What a bidding war it was!

Kocheri Babu challenged me.

Did I let him win, huh?

I bought ten eggs

for 4000 rupees.

Jesus! 4000 rupees!

For these eggs?

Should I have backed down then?

Also, Father was

there to cheer me on.

No wonder!

By the way, steam this taro well.

It'll be great with curd chutney--

For whom?

Everyone.

We all can have it, if we want.

I'm so thirsty.

How about making a juice?

Look, a pineapple.

It'd be nice, right?

It would be. But-

it might be too sweet.

Aren't you diabetic, Papa?

So, this--

this will do. It's good.

I'll make the juice for you.

It's getting on my nerves!

What was that?

What did you say, dear?

Er... the yam-

be careful when you eat it. It

can sometimes make you itch,

especially you.

Of course, it will!

-Stop. -Stop.

What should we do here?

How about starting with

drums, as suggested earlier?

Let's begin again from the top.

Baby, you'll join in, right?

Yes, the "Vishudhan" song.

3... 4...

Josekutty, Christmas is coming.

Couldn't you display some cakes?

Sure, Roychan.

Once this rush settles down.

-Keep it numbered. -Okay.

You should commend these

guys. Makes one stop and listen.

Isn't that their daily

routine, Vakkachan?

I don't know why, but hearing it reminds

me of the church festival procession.

Will Melbin come for

the festival this time?

It's been five years since

he left. He might come.

I don't meddle in

my children's lives.

We've taught them as much as

we could and raised them well.

I've fulfilled my

responsibilities.

Nowadays, we should live

without relying on our kids.

That's good in a way.

I'm thinking of sending

the youngest one too.

Let the kids go and fend for themselves.

Yes, let them.

Eh?

Let them learn to fend for themselves.

-Pillechan, bring it. -Coming.

A few snacks for my mother.

They aren't broken, right?

These snacks are delicate.

Even if I tell her they're only available

at Pillechan's shop, she won't understand.

Instead of letting her suffer

in that orphanage,

why not bring her home?

Orphanage? Who said that?

This is the problem

with people here.

It's not an orphanage;

it's an old age home.

In the West, when people get old,

they book rooms in such places.

Doctor's facility, nursing

care, dietary food,

and everything is

taken care of 24 hours.

I might have to pay ten

or twenty thousand rupees.

Could I provide the

same care at home?

Not just you, Pillechan.

You, too should know this.

Josekutty,

I could bring my mother

home and hire a home nurse.

I could save the ten or twenty

thousand I'm paying now.

But she wouldn't be as

happy as she is there.

There, she can socialise, pray,

and live happily with people her

age. My mother is happy there.

And here he is

calling it an orphanage!

Buzz off, Pillechan!

-Josekutty, I'm leaving. -Okay.

Oh, it's from home.

At this damn time!

What is it?

Ask them to wait.

I will come there.

What's this, man? You'll get septic

if you even lay a hand on it!

Can't you swap it

for a new vehicle?

This is good. Is it a new carol?

Sister, please sit.

Here. Look here.

Where should I look? -Here.

Sister, please look to your left.

Now to your right.

Look straight.

Don't close your eyes.

Don't close your eyes-

Don't-close-your-eyes.

Don't close your eyes.

Son, should we wipe

off some of the make-up?

If she comes without it,

the scanner shouldn't

stop her from coming in.

We all need to get this done as well.

It'll be done in just a moment.

What all kind of things!

Look here.

I'll get it done now.

Where is Elbin?

I asked him to be here.

He took the car and left, saying

he needed to see someone.

O-kay. Okay!

Son,

I need one of these photos

to frame alongside my husband.

Sister, this isn't the kind

of photo you can frame.

Now, you won't

have to wait outside

the gate in the mornings.

Sir, we can

demonstrate the function

of our Kitchen Mate for you.

Of course. Why not?

Let's go to the kitchen.

Yes, let's go.

Come on, walk.

-Come. -Come.

Come. Come on.

Hi, sir. What can I do for you?

Sir, this is the new robot

we, the Wonder Robo-RND team,

are introducing after years

of experiments: Kitchen Mate!

A helper in the kitchen!

The aim of the company is to

reach thousands of housewives

all over Kerala and provide

them with a reliable assistant.

It will handle all the

kitchen chores efficiently.

Kitchen Mate,

please make a coffee.

Sure, sir.

Espresso or Cappuccino?

Will it understand

Malayalam, son?

-Yes, it will. -Ask in Malayalam.

Kitchen Mate, get a cup of coffee.

Sure, sir.

Up in a minute.

Wow!

-Here, look. -Wow!

Your coffee is ready.

How is it?

Looks like it'll make me unemployed!

There is a possibility.

It's nice, right?

-Son, -Yes?

Does it know how

to make fish curry?

The one with brindle berries,

the Kerala-style curry?

Sister,

it's gradually learning.

Right now, it can make coffee,

tea,

-and even clean the floors. -Yes.

This is in its early stages, sir.

Yes.

We're receiving numerous

inquiries from the Kozhikode area

for a robot that

can cook biriyani.

We're actively working on it.

What a progress

our land has seen!

So, even without them,

we can manage, right?

If possible,

could you do me one more favour?

What is it, sir?

If there's a software for

harvesting coconuts and jackfruits,

integrate that into this project.

There's high demand

for the people who do that.

We're struggling to find

people to harvest coconuts,

and others are taking

them as they fall.

-Okay. Noted, sir. -Noted, sir.

Next.

Also, can we give it a pet name?

Let's have a christening

ceremony too!

You can give it

any name you like,

just reset it.

Also, in today's

environment, it's safe

to choose a politically

correct name.

Else, you'll be in trouble.

Yeah, been there.

Absolutely. Need to be cautious.

Yes, right there.

Come on, write this.

Slowly. Your hand is swollen.

What did you do there?

I finished writing. Should I read now?

Yes, you should read.

Are you done with your homework?

What happened to him?

He went to build houses

for that NSS program.

Yes, that's it.

He must have lifted cement sacks

to show off in front of the girls.

How many sacks did you lift?

Five.

He won't even help lift a

bunch of bananas at the store.

This time the singing

group is at ours.

We need to make it grand.

Sure thing. We'll do it.

There's no celebration

without music.

What will we make?

What to make, Mom?

How about kappa biriyani

(tapioca and meat mix)?

Yeah, that's good.

Everyone likes it.

Shaji and I are

planning a programme.

What's it?

Need to dry the tapioca before the rains.

Here.

Why didn't you sign

this consignment?

I forgot...

Forgot, it seems! Sign it.

Give me that too.

Elbin hasn't come home yet?

Hmph!

Well, what to do!

These days you've to look at

GPS to know where your kids are.

He was at the church

courtyard a while back.

Looks like he's close by.

Good that he's going

to Australia next year.

Melbin has got his

admission ready.

I spent so much money on him.

He said he wanted a

bike for 4 lakh rupees.

I didn't want him to fall and break

his bones, so I got him a car instead.

Now look at what happened!

Last day when I went

to the bank I saw Shaji.

He said we should definitely

go to Shiny's wedding.

Don't you have any other job?

I can't be bothered.

It'll be hard for

you to adjust there.

Just Google Pay

some 20000 rupees.

Oh, you're back!

Why are you late?

I've told you to be back before

dinner, no matter where you go.

What were you doing in Pala?

There was a get together, Papa.

We're going to see

Grandma next week.

You should also come.

She keeps asking for you.

Mummy, I told you I've

Zoom session this weekend.

Grandma would

want to see you, right?

Just convey my

regards to Grandma.

Son, eat something

before you sleep.

I already had, Mummy.

How about I bring

you a glass of milk?

You go and make sure the robot's

battery doesn't run down.

That'll be our only

hope in the end.

Last time you had asked for this.

I specially got it made for you.

You don't get it

everywhere like before.

Where's the sweater Melbin sent?

Oh, no, I forgot to get it.

-Ah, best! -It's alright, dear.

Where's Elbin?

Why didn't you bring him too?

He's...

Mom, he has his exams.

He stayed back cos he had a lot to

study. I'll bring him next time.

Wasn't his exam just last month?

Which exam is this?

That is...

Grandma.

Sir, here you go.

-Is this organic? -Yes.

That's the good thing

about this place...

Also, Mom, Melbin said he'll try to

come down for this year's festival.

Maybe to attend your anniversary.

This 20th, it will be 30

years since they got married.

Mom remembers everyone's

birthdays and anniversaries.

She's like that here too.

She's the one who

reminds us of everything.

After I turn 60, I also

wanna book a room here.

The ambience is amazing.

His kids will book it for him.

What about you, Annieamma?

She doesn't care for any place.

She just wants

to go on like this.

Look at Mom.

She's perfectly fine.

Grandma is doing fine here.

Am I right? She's

the all-in-all here.

What do I lack here?

She makes sure I get

food and medicines on time.

And there are so many

things here to pass the time.

Didn't I tell you?

It's a great place.

Why don't you both

also come here?

We can chit-chat

and stay together.

We'll keep coming, Mom.

Where's the jeep, Josekutty?

Jeep?

The jeep...

Shaji came with the auto

when I was about to leave.

So, I came in it.

Diesel is so expensive.

You've been extra careful about

spending money these days.

You need to understand one thing.

We've a daughter growing up.

What if we have more

daughters in the future?

Enough.

Eat your food. You

love mom's mango curry.

It's Christo.

Josekutty, give him a scolding.

He went out in the

morning to play cricket.

Hello.

He thinks I don't

understand anything.

Hello Dad.

Hello? -I, too, have been to college!

-Where are you, Dad? -Hey.

Where are you?

Where are you, Dad?

I'm home.

What's up?

Dad...

There's a problem, Dad.

Is Mom nearby?

What's it?

Dad...

Um... the thing is...

I can hear you. Tell me.

Dad...

What's the problem?

Dad, Nimmy...

Nimmy?

Nimmy ran away.

-Ran away?! -Ya.

What are you saying? With whom?

Uh... That is...

-With me. -Cicily!

Yes, Mom. I'm coming.

Oh, no! Not with me.

With Guptan.

Guptan?! Who's

Guptan! Tell me clearly.

I don't know, Dad.

She said he's some

friend from Instagram.

Dad, she didn't listen to me.

Eh? There she goes! Nimmy!

Where are you now?

We are in...

Vagamon.

Is that where you

went with the jeep?

Mm...

She said if Guptan

doesn't come now,

she'll commit suicide and is

walking towards the suicide point.

Nimmy! Nimmy!

Get lost, you dog! I don't

wanna live any more.

Stop, Nimmy.

Dad, she's not listening to me.

Nimmy!

Dad, can you come?

If you don't come now,

she'll do something terrible.

Can you come soon, Dad?

You say something

and try to bring her back.

I'll come there.

Okay.

Nimmy!

Nimmy, wait!

Nimmy!

Can you just stop

this song and go fast?

What's it, Josekutty?

What's with this sudden plan?

We could've called them too

if we were going to Vagamon.

Call for what? What do

you think we are going for?

Why are you getting angry at me?

Shiny has been saying

for a while that she

wanted to go to Vagamon

before the wedding.

You fool! Christo

ran away with a girl!

HUH!

-With whom?! -Nimmy.

CI George sir's daughter.

Eh?

He didn't run away with her.

She ran away with him.

They both were running

away with some Guptan.

What all are you saying?! Guptan?

Even I don't know. Who's

Guptan? Do you know?

-Is it that other Guptan? -Who?

That Guptan who

sips hot tea and drinks?

Which Guptan is that!

Guptan from the

movie, Harikrishnans!

Where do you wanna go now?

-Vagamon, right? -Ya.

We'll go! Come!

Move aside!

Alby...

See, these are all Guptans.

He was so tense

when he called me.

Now, look.

Sitting there so calm and cool.

He called me first

to tell me about you.

No matter how many friends he has,

if he has any problem, he calls me first.

If he doesn't get through

to me he calls Cicily.

He knows that if he has any problem,

his dad and mom will fix it for him.

Christo is just like

the kids of his time.

He, too, shares the

likes of those kids.

But he isn't addicted

in any of that.

We also had many

such interests like this.

But we were scared.

Will our family find out? If

they do, what will they think?

But nowadays you don't

have to be scared like that.

You have parents who

understand you very well.

Still, why didn't you tell

your parents, Nimmy?

To your papa and mummy?

Why didn't you tell

your mummy at least?

It's okay.

[Cricket commentary on TV]

Many years ago,

my oldest brother,

Pappichayan, his family and

us were returning from Malabar.

All of us were very happy.

They were settled

in Iritty at the time.

They wanted to buy land there

but dad didn't allow it at first.

Eventually, they bought

land, built a house

and were returning to our house

after the house-warming ceremony.

He was 5 years old at the time.

It was me who named him, Christo.

And below him are

Christopher and Christina.

Everyone asks me why

their names are all so similar.

And if it was hard to

come up with these names?

We never let him feel the

sadness of losing his parents.

Everyone forgot about it.

So many accidents.

Who's gonna remember all of them?

Sir and Teacher,

you're new in this town,

that's why you don't

know about all this.

Nimmy, dear.

There will be more situations like

this in your life going forward.

Better than someone outside,

isn't it always safer to share all this

with your parents who know you the best?

Right?

No one knows about this now.

From tomorrow onwards,

you can tell us anything.

We're with you.

Okay?

-Alright, sir. -Okay, Josekutty.

Hey, watch the rest

of the match at home.

Mom will be waiting for you.

Come.

Nimmy, don't forget about

the choir practice tomorrow.

-Okay, then. -Okay, dear.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto

thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

to thee do I come, before thee

I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in thy mercy

hear and answer me.

Amen.

In the name of the Father,

Son and the Holy Spirit.

Melbin had called.

He's coming.

Aha!

For our wedding anniversary.

He's saying we should conduct

a grand function at the club.

Anyway, since we're celebrating it,

let's invite our friends and relatives.

Right?

I can't wait to see Achumol.

I held her last

during her baptism.

Everyone says she looks like me.

I mean, would you agree

if I say she looks like me?

No.

What's it?

Got the invitation

from the press.

How much did it cost?

I'll tell you later.

I'll give the first

invite to our Father.

Alright, then.

-Continue the practice. -Okay.

This keeps happening.

Why can't you go see a doctor?

I already took a tablet.

It will go away if I lie down.

How many times

have I mopped already!

Looks like Rihana is unwell.

Come and have a look.

What happened?

It's not listening to any orders.

Not listening to orders?

-Yes. -How come?

Rihana, please make a coffee.

Sure, sir. Up in a minute.

She's okay now.

See how disobedient she is!

Such an arrogant female.

Your coffee is ready.

Let me have a look.

She's hot. Does she have a fever?

Fever? This thing?

Why? Can it not catch a fever?

Oh, dear... please!

I don't think I can

go home today.

Sir is back.

What's it? What happened?

This is not listening to anything

today. I guess something's wrong.

Not listening? Maybe you

gave the wrong voice command.

-Not that... -Get the milk.

She spilled the milk before.

Let's pour water.

Rihana, please make a coffee.

Sure, sir. In a minute.

Aha! The right

person needs to say it.

See!

What horrible manners!

Thank goodness, the

water wasn't boiled.

-Idiot. -Your coffee is ready.

She'll make biriyani, it seems.

Call those guys.

Make sure it

doesn't get crumpled.

Okay, Father.

This year's star should be great.

-Father. -Yes, Shaji.

I was looking for

you in the rectory.

What's this?

Wedding invitation?

The first one is for you.

Aha!

How are the preparations

coming along?

Need to start everything.

I'll come over soon.

It's been a long time

since I saw your dad.

How's he now? All okay?

Yes, Father. He's fine now.

Alright, I'm off, Father.

It's Kollapally Church

festival tomorrow.

I've got practice. They

must be waiting for me.

Alright, off you go then.

Don't crumple it. Make

sure to stick it there.

Stick it together here.

It's hot.

Yes, that key.

-It's on. -Is it?

Is it going to work?

You said there'd

be no complaints.

We're checking, sir.

Actually sir, this is first time

in Wonder Robot's life experience.

It's also a first-time

experience in our life.

Did the charge get over?

No, madam. It also

has battery backup.

Our company provides

full battery backup.

Was it because we

changed her name?

What's wrong with the name?

It's a nice name, Rihana.

That's fine.

What could've happened...

Can you just pass

the milk? Let me try.

-Milk is over. -Sir, all okay.

-There's water. -Double okay.

Ready, sir.

Keep it here.

Thank you.

Rihana, please make a coffee.

Oh, right!

Oh, no, sir!

Sure, sir. Up in a minute.

-Here you go. -No need.

-Thank you. -Sir.

Sir, look here.

Oh, sir. This was the problem.

This GPS tracker put her off.

Sir, this robot's

software function

got screwed over cos of

the GPS tracker's function.

That's why misleading commands

kept forwarding to its system.

But it's just a

computer malfunction.

Nothing to worry about.

Actually, this GPS is used

for vehicle tracking purposes.

Who put this in here, sir?

Did you keep it to check if

the robot was going anywhere?

See.

Did you understand who kept it?

Who was it, sir?

Someone very

important to both of us.

Oh, I see.

-Fix it. -Done.

How are you now, Thankan?

Can you walk?

Yeah, a bit when he holds my

hand, I can walk around here.

It's very hard to find

children like him these days.

Yes, tell him, Father.

He used to jump from one palm tree to

the other using a rope back in the days.

He was a famous tapper!

He has hit me so much

for not going to school.

Be quiet.

You don't know

what to say to whom!

Please drink your coffee, Father.

Let the wedding go

smoothly and lack nothing.

We can all make her

wedding happen well.

We'll never forget what

you've done for us, Father.

What did I do for that?

No matter which parish

I'm at, I will do this.

Alright.

Let's go, Father.

I shall take your leave.

Okay, Father.

The rain hasn't stopped.

Father had come home.

He also gave some money to Mom.

Oh, he did? That's good.

We've a small function at

home the day before the wedding.

Is it Mehendi?

Yeah, nowadays they do all that.

-Did you invite Maliackal? -No.

He can't come at night, it seems.

Apparently, he's busy or his son

abroad will call or something.

We know how he is.

He won't even let that Annieamma

come. That's the problem.

Anyway, let that be.

We need to get together.

Definitely.

Is it a wedding or an orchestra?

We've made some plans.

Right, Saramma aunty?

Yes, we have some plans.

We asked him so many times.

Look, he won't come clean!

Don't have to look!

I only did it.

You forgot that I'm an

engineering aspirant.

Is this how you talk to your dad?

Let him! Let him say it! Come on!

How will we know when you go

wherever you want whenever you want!

Do you tell either of us

when you go somewhere?

That's exactly why I kept a GPS.

-Move! -Hey!

-Wait there! -Hey!

-I said wait there! -What?!

Stop there, you!

What all have I done for you?

Didn't I make your

brother get you

an admission at a good

university in Australia?

Then he wants music and gaming!

When you asked

for a bike, I got a car!

And food, dress, whatnot!

You do everything you like, Papa!

Have you ever asked

me about what I like?

Did you ask me before

getting admission in Australia?

I don't like to go

there to study.

Don't think you can

make me like this!

Hey!

-Stop there! -Just get lost!

Hey, you!

Was he always so terrible?

It was out of sudden

anger. Let it go.

He's like this! What

about the older one?

He said to keep this function.

Has he come? Will he come?

Will he reach on time? No clue!

What kinda humans are these kids!

You know, right? He's

all about surprises.

Maybe he'll come to

the club as a surprise.

Who are you?

Good evening, sir. Mr. George Joseph?

That would be me. What's it?

We're from Events Unlimited

event management company.

Mr. Melbin George had a booking.

Where should we set this, sir?

Eh? Melbin?

Booking?

Hello!

-This... Hello! -Who are they?

-I'm talking to you. -What's it?

Some event management

people, it seems.

Who are you?

Who are these people?

Who knows! Answer me first.

Hey... listen... Where's

Melbin? Where's he?

He will call you, sir.

Did he ask you to do this?

We don't need this.

We didn't ask for it.

We've already

arranged it elsewhere.

Fine! Do what you have to!

What's all this?

Happy wedding anniversary.

Happy anniversary, ma'am.

Hey... but...

Hello!

Let's call Melbin.

Dear...

That must be Melbin.

Yes, Melbin. Where are you?

Where are you now? Where's that?

Some event management people

came saying you sent them.

They have brought

some stuff and kept it here.

We didn't understand

anything they said.

Where are you now?

Look Achu...

Papa, I'm in Bangalore.

Nancy's parents are

in Bangalore now.

We are on an outing with them.

So, you're not coming

for today's function?

Then why the hell did you

ask us to keep a function?

Your mom wanted this so badly.

Do one thing! You stay there itself

with your wife and her family!

Melbin, now do you understand

your Papa's character?

He only cares about himself.

You!!!

Leave it.

She's a

daughter-in-law after all.

She is an outsider.

What about ours?

You saw it before, right?

The ruckus the younger one threw.

What all have I done for him?

Didn't I buy him a house

and property in Melbourne?

I spent so much money on him!

And now...

And now?

-AND NOW! -Nothing...

What's wrong with what they said?

Annieamma... you...

You see everyone like this robot.

We should function

as per your command.

Right?

We are also humans.

Not machines.

What is that you

achieved in life?

This big house...

you built big walls all

around and a closed gate.

Do you think

everything will be okay

if you just monitor your house

through your office CCTV?

Annieamma, why

are you also like this?

I've only lived for us.

I've only lived for our children.

And now, I'm the bad guy in front of

you, our kids and our daughter-in-law.

Very good!

You reap what you say,

that's what the Bible says.

Is there anyone in this house

with whom I can speak openly?

Every other minute

you mention the credit

for the facilities you

provided for your mother.

Each time we visit

her and come back,

I've seen her eyes tear up.

I know how it feels.

I'm also a mother.

No matter how comfortable

or hungry any mother is,

she always wants to

be with her own children.

Dear...

Have you ever tried to

see us for who we are?

Have you even tried?

Fine then...

you guys carry on...

I'm the problem, right?

I can leave...

You mother and kids...

do whatever you want.

Fine then...

you guys carry on...

I'm the problem, right?

I can leave...

You mother and kids...

do whatever you want.

[Car Honking]

Have you ever tried to

see us for who we are?

Have you even tried?

No matter how comfortable

or hungry any mother is,

she always wants to

be with her own children.

Aunty, what's your name?

Aunty?

Can you tell me your

name and family name?

Aunty.

Name and family name, please?

Padinjareparambil.

I'm Josekutty Padinjareparambil.

Do you know her?

Of course, we're neighbours.

What about her family?

Has anything like this ever

happened to Annieamma before?

No, Doctor.

This is the first time.

When I ask her questions, she's

unable to answer anything properly.

Does she have memory problems?

Memory problem...

Things like phone numbers,

passwords and things like that...

Right, son?

Yes, Papa. Nothing else.

Nothing else.

She's in an early

stage of dementia.

Memory loss.

You may not have

taken it seriously.

You should always keep an eye

on people with such tendencies.

Shouldn't leave

them alone for long.

She might not be fully

aware of what she's doing.

Even this time, you didn't know

she went out of the house, right?

For the time being, let her

remain under observation.

Give more attention and care.

-Come, dear. -Go inside.

Let's sit over there, Father.

You go with them.

Sit down, Father.

Take a chair and

sit down, Josekutty.

It's alright.

Everything will be

okay, Vakkachan.

I've never bothered anyone here.

I've only tried to help

in whatever way I could.

And yet, why did this

happen to me, Father?

Nothing like that, Vakkachan.

You were on a run.

Your own justifications

and your own decisions.

When you build a large wall and

gate and lived in this house,

you did not see

anything around you.

People are reluctant to cross this

gate and wall and interact with you.

You know, Josekutty?

What the naval officers who came for

rescue during the last floods said?

Kerala is the only place in

this world with so many walls.

People build big walls and

confine themselves inside.

They don't wanna know

anything around them.

The higher the walls rose, the

more distant the hearts became.

Now God has given

you a great chance,

to think differently.

We're here for you.

Father, please have tea. Come.

Achumol...

Father, Elsamma is totally fine.

She's looking very smart.

Yes, Father. I'm capable

of taking care of her.

I was perfectly fine

yet he left me there.

I like staying here.

I told her so many times.

She likes having me here.

She has always treated

me like her own mother.

So, I can take care of Annieamma.

You know, Father...

This Vakkachan here,

when he was a baby,

while sleeping, I would stay up all night

making sure no cloth falls on his face.

So, I can easily manage her.

It's the mothers in the family who

has to step up when problems arise.

Or the family will crumble.

That's what our

forefathers taught us.

Father, I had finished

nursing and was about to

go abroad for work when

Josekutty married me.

Anyway, I learnt it as a skill.

I can take care of Annie.

She's gonna become better.

And then we need to conduct

a singing programme here.

Elsamma's 70th birthday is

coming up. We're gonna have fun.

Mom, come here.

I'll show you something.

"Has the magic

window woven its spell?"

"With a soft smile,

painting my memories"

"Like a wilting jasmine

That sprinkle colour"

"My moments turn

into fading memories"

"All the life that

blooms on this earth"

"Become a vivid portrait

Etched deep in my heart"

This is life.

Or how could we not know

the problems in Vakkachan

and Annieamma's life

who are so near to us.

Yes.

It's quite sad that we

didn't know anything.

Chest feels heavy

thinking about it.

It's true... No matter how

closely we see someone's life,

we may never know the truth.

You're speaking so maturely.

Yes, from experience.

Also, I've been carrying around

this sadness in me for a while now.

What's that?

That's...

Well... Nimmy went

to Vagamon, right?

Then,

that other guy, right? Guptan?

-Sit. -He...

-Dad... -What's it?

That is...

Guptan was actually me.

I was simply fooling her.

You?!

-Guptan?! -Yes.

It happened...

What was that?

Seems like some issue with the vehicle.

Issue, pft!

What's the problem?

Dad, Nimmy...

Nimmy ran away.

He called me first

to tell me about you.

No matter how many friends he has, if

he has any problem, he calls me first.

He knows that if he has any problem,

his dad and mom will fix it for him.

Nimmy, dear.

There will be more situations like

this in your life going forward.

From now onwards, we're with you.

Is it gonna be a problem?

Christo!

What are you doing in the rain?

Nothing.

What's with the washing

and secret sharing?

-Oh, no! -Go and dry your hair!

Dad, don't tell any

of this to mom...

[After a few days]

Hello?

Josekutty?

What's happening?

Is it raining a lot back home?

I'm watching it on the TV.

The reason I called is,

I think our CCTV is blocked.

Must be due to the rain.

Please take a look.

Also... Eh?

Annieamma is doing much better.

Is your mom, Cicily

and kids doing good?

We'll be coming for Christmas.

We need to have fun! Okay?

Listen...

I've been wanting to ask

you something for a while now.

What's it, Dad?

When you went to

Vagamon that day?

Why did you go there?

Vagamon was the

farthest place I've been to.

Only place I knew how to go.

Josekutty!

Also, I only had that much money.

Josekutty, your phone.

Here. It was Nimmy's call.

Here.

-Call her back. -She's smart.

She went all the way to London.

Man, what did you think?

We didn't know about Guptan, huh?

You knew?

That day I came to Vagamon to get you

with Cicily's knowledge.

Don't you know that I don't

do anything without telling her?

But you forgot about that.

Yeah, slightly.

-Come here. -Don't call her.

Josekutty, tell him to not waste

time and clear the IELTS exam.

He thought

we knew nothing about them.

Why? Don't we understand

Instagram and Facebook?

-Eh? -You, Mr. Guptan!
