Major Victor Vasudev, K. B. Ganesh Kumar is a battle-worn figure living in a bunker on a remote island, where he clings to a vision of traditional Kerala values and dreams of one day joining a human lunar colony. In a world where Earth has fractured under environmental and political collapse, alien megastructures loom overhead and global authorities hunt extraterrestrials with relentless vigor. Victor is not alone in his echo of the old world: his nephew, Allan John Valamparambil, Gokul Suresh, and their cook, Vibe, Vibe aka Vaibhav Vydyanathan, Aju Varghese, keep him company in a fragile semblance of ordinary life. The trio is constantly under pressure from two corrupt cops, Rage Kurup, John Kaippallil and Potti Ambu Madathil, who show up frequently to extort them, trading in fear and intimidation as though they are the city’s guardians.

One night, after a party, Vibe returns delirious and memory-less, and the trio makes a startling discovery: a mute, blue-haired woman has slipped into their bunker, having eaten Victor’s beloved cat Bhavani. She is a humanoid alien fugitive who was promised help reaching a distant station by Vibe, but she has been stranded far from safety. The group dubs her Alieamma, a name that blends alien and motherly care, and they soon realize her emotional responses trigger electromagnetic pulses that flicker lights and reveal her location to the authorities. The discovery pulls the three men into a moral dilemma about danger, loyalty, and compassion, especially as Allan develops complicated feelings for Alieamma.

Alieamma becomes a bridge between worlds as the trio tries to shelter her. She provides Alan with a damaged device to aid communication, which Victor repairs, though he endows her with a voice that carries a maternal cadence — a choice that unsettles Alan. Through her, the group learns a sweeping cosmology: her people are peaceful, and human myths about their origins are wrong. Long ago, humans and her kind were original siblings on another planet; after that world was drained, humans fled to Earth. Now, in another echo of humanity’s mistakes, her species seeks refuge here as well. Her story reframes the human fear of the unknown and adds a layer of tragedy to Victor’s art, his habit of painting muses, and his distant memory of his wife.

Victor’s attempt to bring Alieamma to the authorities triggers a painful moment when she erases his memory with a touch, only to restore it later out of pity. The group’s dynamic deepens: Alan’s romantic ache is tempered by a growing question about whether they can protect someone who dwells between worlds, and Victor defends his craft by sharing that he never looks at actual bodies of his muses, preferring to paint from memory of his wife. The tension between art, memory, and truth runs through every decision they make.

Conflict arrives in a sharper form when Kurup and Potti kidnap Alieamma, and Potti begins a ritualistic “cleansing.” Alan intervenes, knocking the officers unconscious with a wooden log, and the Ajayya Sena arrives in alien-costumed uniforms, presenting themselves as protectors while cultivating fear. The real danger is exposed: the Sena have weaponized alien imagery to manipulate the public. In the climactic confrontation, Alieamma defends herself and her new allies, ascending into the sky and overpowering the Sena reinforcements at their residence. She asks Victor, Allan, and Vibe to help her reach a visible spacecraft in the heavens, and they choose to stand by her side as she departs Earth.

In the aftermath, Victor achieves his long-held dream of traveling to the moon, a bittersweet victory that comes at the cost of leaving behind the life he has built. Alan, heartbroken but hopeful, continues to reach out to Alieamma through Raghavan, the AI companion who has become a quiet confidant. On her home planet—a world inhabited by giant cats—Alieamma receives Alan’s messages and smiles, recognizing that his longing to be with her endures even across the stars.

The movie blends intimate character study with a sweeping science-fiction premise, exploring how memory, art, and longing shape a person’s choices when faced with extraordinary circumstances. It asks whether compassion can coexist with duty, whether legends of other worlds can coexist with the fragile truths of our own, and what it means to say goodbye when an invasive fear is cast as protection. The result is a reflective, visually arresting journey that keeps faith with its quiet human core even as it soars toward cosmic horizons.
