Plot

[edit]

The movie begins with the arrival of Seelabathi and her mother, Sumangala, to Kerala from Bengal. Though Sumangala returns to Bengal, Seelabathi stays behind as she gets a temporary job as a computer teacher in a school for a few months. She stays with her grandparents, and her grandfather, a farmer, loves farming. In school, she soon adapts to things and becomes friendly with her students. Sheelabathi also meets a young doctor, Jeevan, with whom she becomes friendly. In the village, people come to dig huge bore wells which result in water scarcity. Young students disappear mysteriously from school and end up being sexually exploited. Their parents accuse that incidents were happening in the village due to Seelabathi's computer courses. The story narrates how Sheelabathi overcomes all the problems.
