In 1920s India, in the secluded village of Vedhandhur, 11-year-old Kanjan lived under the iron rule of his father-a man who dictated every aspect of their society. One fateful event sparked a burning question in Kanjan's mind: What is s*x?
Determined to find answers, he sets out to watch an adult film in the nearby settlement of Kattur Hamlet. Unlike Vedhandhur, Kattur is a vibrant hub of art and culture, yet its people endure oppression, water scarcity, and the burden of being deemed inferior by the ruling hamlets. As Kanjan's innocent curiosity leads him deeper into Kattur's world, he not only unravels the mystery of s*x but also stumbles upon the unsettling realities of caste, power, and the hidden secrets of his village.
