Plot

Manjula (Manoj K Jayan) attends school and falls in love with their male classmate. The feminine charms and effeminate ways of Manjula are ridiculed by many barring this one person, who promises to marry them once they are grown up and ready to face the world.

Years later, their romance is on in full swing, until Manjula and their quaint ways bring disgrace to their family. Thrown out of their home, they seeks refuge with a group of transvestites who welcome them into their clan with open arms. To make matters worse, they are spurned in love as well.

Manjula's trials and tribulations bring them face to face with a predicament related to their very identity that is no easy crisis to deal with. The realization that their distinctiveness renders them the cynosure of public attention is something that they eventually learn to live with, but the scars that are meted out to them in the process remain unhealed for life.
