Synopsis

The film narrates a sad story of a Malayali couple, Ravunni Nair and Saraswathi Amma, who were colleagues teaching in the same school who eventually married, when the former was 45 and the latter was 40. The greatest sorrow of their life is that they are childless. After retirement, Maya comes to stay with them. She was a friend's daughter with whom Saraswathi Amma had stayed during her earlier teaching career. Maya has a place at a local college and is in search of a place for boarding and lodging as well as guardians. Maya, motherless for long, brings with her some cheer. The old couple almost adopt her as their daughter and Maya reciprocates.

Ravi was in love with Maya. He returns from the United States to meet her. Maya's father Bhadran Nampoothiripadu does not approve of Ravi. However, Ravunni and Saraswathi Amma bless Ravi and Maya and they are married. Ravi has to go back to America and he leaves Maya with the couple as she is now expectinga baby. She gives birth to a baby boy but dies in child-birth. The couple lose a major prop of their lives. They are left with the baby, who they look after like their own grandson. Ravi returns to get his son and now the other prop is also gone. They console each other and comfort themselves to live the rest of their lives.
