Ayyadurai and Madasamy are close friends and landowners from different castes in Tenkasi, Tirunelveli, who dedicate themselves to helping people endure the brutal drought that shadows the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The two men navigate the social fault lines of their era as they work to keep their community alive, offering aid where government relief falls short and standing up to those who swell with power and prejudice. The town’s peace is fragile, but their alliance stands as a beacon for many who believe in doing right, even when the odds are stacked against them.
