An aging sci-fi writer is challenged by his caretaker to write about the common man. Reluctantly, he begins the story of Kannan, a TukTuk driver, and his family - only to discover that ordinary life holds unexpected depth and drama.
Based on the Purananuru poem 279, the story follows a widowed mother and her only son, going through their daily chores while knowing an invasion from their enemy is around the corner.
