How far will you go to hold on to your heritage? Is the house more important than the people who live in it? Dakshayani Amma?the grande dame of matrilineal Kalyedath?must ensure its longevity, but having a differently abled daughter jeopardises her hope of an heiress. As her challenge turns into an obsession, she disregards her well-wishers and overlooks the stakes. But there is a price to pay. When Rohini visits India from the US, she has only one objective in mind?the sale of the Kalyedath tharavad bequeathed to her. But when unexplained hurdles befall her, she is forced to revisit the past. How are the two women?s lives intertwined? What happens to the tharavad? Does it become a relic like the traditional joint families?
