Plot
Njoonju, a rubber tapper lives with his father, mother, wife and his son in a small village.
Ittychan, his father is a bedridden man, but has always been and continues to be narcissistic, cruel, and a womaniser despite being bedridden. He harasses, abuses, and tortures his wife, Kuttyamma and Njoonju. All his family members wait longingly for his death. Many villagers who had bitter experience of his behavior in the past even makes plan to kill him.
Ittychan manipulates his family members to bring their next-door neighbour and prostitute, Sheela to live with him and take care of him. Though initially the family and Sheela were at loggerheads, both parties warm up to each other as the family sees Sheela is a good-natured woman who ended up in this stage due to different situations (later they understand Ittychan had killed Sheela's father to own her and then dragged her to their hometown resulting in her current situation of having to fend for herself through prostitution), and Sheela sees the family are good people unlike Ittychan.
Noonju makes plan to leave the village but can't force himself to leave from his duties as a son.
Meanwhile, Ittychan's friend dies committing suicide after listening to news that one Kuriakose is released from Jail.
On a Christmas evening Kuriakose, whose wife was raped and killed by Ittychan, comes to their house to kill him. Njoonju tries to protect his father. While Njoonju and Kuriakose were fighting Ittychan asks Kuriakose to kill Njoonju and to take the women and in return give back his life. Sheela gets furious by his words and stabs Ittychan to death. Kuriakose leaves the house. Njoonju and family informs the neighborhood that Ittychan died from a mild attack. It is indicated that Njoonju's family and Sheela together lived peacefully in that home after that.
