Spoilers ahead
Esthappan Aasan is a veteran stage artist and director who also makes his living as a fisherman. He runs a small drama troupe with his daughter Liza and another actor, Charlie. In the same coastal town, Anto is a young fisherman whose close friend Pappi works with the troupe. Anto is a lively, sometimes reckless soul who drinks and gambles in his free time, and he lives with his sister Ammu. Ponnu, Pappi’s sister, harbors a crush on Anto, while Ammu waits for her lover Raghu, who is seen as working overseas and hoped to return soon. Esthappan Aasan detests Anto at first, resenting him for teasing the “drama-loving fisherman” inside Aasan.
