The frustrations of Gnalam's embittered father drive her to pursue her studies and win a place at university. However, her old friend Saravanan, barely educated, drifts into a life of crime and violence. Both remain worlds apart. until, years later, Saravanan joins Gnalam's campaign to better the lives of plantation workers.
