Synopsis
Simon, a humble jeep driver from a remote village in Kerala, lives peacefully with his mother, Leelamma. Their lives take a turn when Annamma and her daughter, Jessy, arrive as paying guests. Jessy captures Simon’s heart, and they marry, but her emotional distance troubles him. As her behavior grows erratic, culminating in a suicide attempt, Simon urges Jessy to reveal her past. She discloses harrowing abuse by her father and relatives, leaving her scarred and unable to fully embrace love. Meanwhile, Leelamma confronts Annamma, uncovering a shocking truth: Annamma killed her husband to protect Jessy. Despite the challenges, Simon chooses to stand by Jessy, committed to walking with her through pain and healing, determined to build a future together.
