Summary
Josutty is the son of Joseph and Shoshamma. He belongs to a middle class traditional orthodox Christian farmer family in Kattappana, Idukki. His desire is to become a priest. But eventually he falls in love with Jessy, his neighbour and childhood friend. Josutty is a sixth standard dropout. This disqualification becomes a barrier for him to marry her. Yielding to the pressure from his friends and relatives, he agrees to marry Rose, who is a divorcee and a nurse in New Zealand. For the sake of his family, he immigrates to New Zealand with his wife. Upon reaching there, the life of Josutty turns upside down. All of a sudden, he realises that everything he had believed to be true throughout life was wrong and he vows to live life to the fullest.
