The film handles the issue of exploitation of Adivasis by feudal lords, and that of Naxalism which attempts to resist and counter this, and of how the feudal lords use the "system" to suppress the resistance. The film speaks through the eyes of protagonist Ammini, a 16-year-old girl whose life takes a turn when Devan, who is a stranger and Mohan, who has a romantic interest in her, inspires her and believes in her brilliance unlike everyone else, enter her life. Ammini starts loving Mohan back. Devan turns out to be a Naxalite conspiring to kill her uncle, a feudal lord, who has been exploiting the tribal community in the area for his own personal interests. But Devan accidentally kills Mohan instead of her uncle. The police kill Devan as a result.
