Plot

Unni is shown buying a brand-new Harley Davison bike and riding it to his hometown. From there, the movie switches to the flashback mode to Unni and his Friend Kannan’s childhood.

Unni and Kannan are neighbours, Kannan slightly elder to Unni. Both are close friends and are always together in their adventures. Kannan’s father committed suicide sometime back and his mother runs the household with great difficulty. The movie goes through the different anecdotes in their school life like Unni’s first love, Science festival at school, annual sports day and the time when Unni accidentally swallowed a bubble gum amongst the others. Kannan cuts open his new rubber slippers to make Unni a new toy for his birthday which greatly moves him emotionally. On a parallel track is Manjulan an NRI and his friend Biju, who are friends with the 2 kids. Biju marries the school’s new teacher while Manjulan has trouble re-connecting to his mother, since she hides about his father’s death from him, when he initially goes abroad on borrowed money due to their hardships. Manjulan finally realizes his mistake and makes up with his mother.

Back in the present towards the climax, a grown up Unni comes back to his village and gifts the new bike to his childhood friend Kannan, who lives a humble life in the village running a repair shop.
