A refreshingly feel-good celebrationn of life and old age which crosses cultural boundaries. Krishna Kurup and Ammalukutty have grown old together on their little farm, content with their simple life. Their grown up children are worried that they are too old and need looking after and plan to move them to their urban homes. But the parents resist and through their story we understand how they have developed a perfect partnership ­ she has learned to understand him and he has helped her become strong for both of them… Acclaimed cinematographer Sunny Joseph uses the natural light of the Kerala countryside to infuse this moving film with warm golden tones."
