And The Oscar Goes To…

Issak Ebrahem, a young man with aspirations of directing films, decides to create a movie based on his own screenplay inspired by his native Moidukka. He takes the initial steps towards filmmaking by gathering resources and planning his project. His determination marks the beginning of his journey into the film industry.

To finance his project, Issak mortgages the land he inherited from Moidukka, providing the necessary capital for construction. He then assembles his team, including actor Aravind and cinematographer Sivakumar, who agree to make the film. This move enables him to start actual filming despite financial challenges.

Issak faces financial hardships during the filming process but perseveres to complete his debut film, 'Sky of Fireflies'. The production showcases Issak's dedication and vision as he brings his screenplay to life. The film becomes a significant milestone in his career.

With the help of Sivakumar, Issak submits 'Sky of Fireflies' for the national award on the final day of submission. The film garners critical acclaim, leading Aravindan to win the Best Actor award and the film to secure the Best Picture award at the National Awards.

Following its national success, Issak's film is officially submitted by India to compete in the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This elevates the film's profile on an international stage and marks a major achievement in Issak's career.

A foreign marketing company representative named Maria sees Issak's movie, sparking international interest. Her viewing marks a pivotal moment that could open new opportunities for Issak's work beyond national borders.

Prince, Issak's friend who had gone abroad, introduces the film to international audiences, including Maria. Despite some successful screenings, issues arise when Maria becomes angry over delayed payment, leading to a heated argument. The incident dampens the film's promotional momentum.

Issak learns that his film has not made it onto the final list for the Oscars, a disappointing setback after the film's previous successes. Feeling disheartened, Issak prepares to leave and returns home, reflecting on his journey and ambitions.

Before leaving, Issak completes a new film titled 'The Oscar Goes To', inspired by his experiences with the awards process. This project serves as a personal reflection on his hopes, dreams, and the struggles faced along the way.

Issak visits Moidukka to reconnect with his roots and reflect on his journey. During this visit, he meets his son Harshad at Moidukka's house, marking a moment of personal reconciliation. The return signifies a pause after his tumultuous filmmaking adventure.

The film concludes with the return of Moidukka's son, who was previously imprisoned abroad, depicted in the movie 'Minnaminungukalude Aakasham'. Moidukka informs Issak that Harshad is not fully healed, revealing ongoing struggles. Issak apologizes and leaves, ending his story.
