Plot
Pavi is a caretaker in a residential apartment in Kerala. An unmarried caretaker’s life changes when he forms an unexpected bond, adding joy to his routine existence in a residential complex amidst life’s challenges. Pavi spends most of his time in the building, often working double shifts including nighttime security duty to improve his financial situation.The irritating behaviours common among many middle-aged men have surfaced in him too and he’s extremely nosy and believes the world revolves around him and the building. A short-tempered loner, Pavi finds solace in his pet dog, Bro, and his rented house where he sleeps during the daytime. Meanwhile, the house’s owner, ex-cop Mariyamma (Radhika Sarathkumar), decides to rent out a portion of the top floor, where Pavi resides, despite his initial objections.Pavi, who has never met this person due to his night shift work, learns from Mariyamma that the tenant is a woman. He slowly begins communicating with her through notes left on their shared table, eventually developing feelings for her. However, a miscommunication leads to the woman moving out abruptly, leaving Pavi heartbroken and affecting his work performance, previously done flawlessly. Whether they will ever meet again forms the remaining part of the movie.
