An alcoholic father drags his naive son out of school and embarks on a journey to bring back his wife who left him after his constant abuse. The commotion at his wife’s village pushes the duo to walk back home where the unforgiving barren land and the punishing Sun force them to confront their emotions.
Born in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India, in 1988. He dropped out of school when he was in class IV owing to poverty. To eke out a living, he sold DVDs at a roadside shop in Chennai. During this time, he got introduced to a few people from the Tamil film Industry and eventually joined as an assistant director to A. Sargunam, a Tamil filmmaker. He then worked as an assistant director for ‘Manal Magudi’, a post-modernistic theatre troupe established by Mr. Muruga Boopathy in Kovilpatti. He utilised his time during this venture to shoot a few short films. In 2021 he shot ‘Pebbles’, his feature film debut, which is inspired by his personal life and won the Tiger Award at Rotterdam International Film Festival.
