Plot

[edit]

Gayathri, born into an impoverished Hindu Namboothiri family in Palakkad, takes up the post of teaching Arabic in a school in Kozhikode. There she is supported in her decision by writer and social activist Shekharan, a widower with an only child, and the manager of the school, Hajiyar. The prospect of a Hindu woman teaching Arabic to Muslim students leads to communal problems, mainly led by three people: Menon who wants to take over the school management, Hajiyar's son-in-law - Azeez - who happened to take a bribe for appointing a Muslim as an Arabic teacher at the school, and the shrewd politician - Chelakkadan - who is waiting for an opportunity to unleash a communal riot and thereby reap electoral votes.
