In a small town in Tamil Nadu, Rasangam lives with his widowed mother and aunt,
and siblings and cousins. Thrust prematurely into the shoes of the patriarch and

society, Rasangam abandons his dreams of higher education.
When great misfortune befalls his beloved elder brother and then his younger
sister, Rasangam is heartbroken. However, the foundations of their ties and
resilience as a family run deep, nurtured by the meticulous yet overlooked care
of the women. He turns to his faith surrendering to the will of Allah, devoting
himself to religious service
