The couple, both Kathakali artists, live a dreary life and their only comfort is the lovely memories of a glorious past where they had amazed the audiences with outstanding performances. Janaki (Simi Baiju), who was a dancer in her prime, is now bed-ridden and Narayanan, (Rajesh Hebbar) her husband, who was once a famous Kathakali singer, is making a living as a carpenter. His only aim in life is to keep his ailing wife comfortable and happy.

gollark: ```GoalsThese goals may change or be refined over time as I experiment with what is possible with the language. Embeddable - Similiar to Lua - it is meant to be included in another program which may use the virtual machine to extend its own functionality. Statically typed - The language uses a Hindley-Milner based type system with some extensions, allowing simple and general type inference. Tiny - By being tiny, the language is easy to learn and has a small implementation footprint. Strict - Strict languages are usually easier to reason about, especially considering that it is what most people are accustomed to. For cases where laziness is desired, an explict type is provided. Modular - The library is split into parser, typechecker, and virtual machine + compiler. Each of these components can be use independently of each other, allowing applications to pick and choose exactly what they need.```
