In the tranquil valleys of Kerala, a modest estate belonging to a prosperous landowner hums with the rhythms of everyday life. Mathew, a well‑meaning husband, enjoys the comforts of a home built on love and respect, while his wife Selina—a gentle poet with a warm family circle—brightens the space with verses and quiet laughter. The setting feels both intimate and expansive, a world where the ordinary is draped in an undercurrent of unspoken longing, hinting that even the most peaceful corners may conceal hidden currents.

One ordinary day shatters that calm: Selina is found dead by her own hand, an event that leaves Mathew bewildered and drowning in grief. The police brush it off as a tragic accident, yet Mathew cannot accept a simple explanation for the loss of the woman he adored. His sorrow pulls him toward alcohol and sleepless nights, while a persistent whisper in his mind insists there must be a motive he has missed. The atmosphere tightens, swelling with melancholy and a gnawing need for answers that threaten to consume the household’s fragile equilibrium.

Enter Balachandran—a seasoned journalist from Delhi, and a close confidant of both Mathew and Selina. Compelled by loyalty and a journalist’s instinct to uncover truth, he offers to trace the fragments of Selina’s past, believing that the shadows of earlier years may illuminate the darkness of her final moments. As he reaches out to former teachers, classmates, and distant relatives, the investigation becomes a delicate dance between empathy and curiosity, casting a reflective, almost reverent tone over the story. The film rests on this quiet pursuit of hidden history, inviting viewers to linger in the tension between love, loss, and the relentless search for meaning that lies just beyond the surface.
