In a small village in Kerala, Kuttiyamma, a grandmother, goes missing one morning, causing tension among her family and neighbours. Her son Jose starts searching for her in the neighbourhood and in the nearby church. The neighbours gather to help him. The villagers start speculating on her recent actions and whereabouts, creating rumours about Kuttiyamma. They ?nally ?nd Kuttiyamma in the attic, calmly doing her skincare, and she dismisses the rumours. This incident sheds light on societal expectations and the stigmas elderly people face, such as the pressure to dress conservatively and the shame associated with deviating from these norms. The incident also shows the communal harmony in Kerala, where neighbours often form stronger bonds than blood relatives, stepping in to help in times of need. Old age often brings restrictions due to fears of disease or family embarrassment.
