Young Sanju arrives at his ancestral tharavadu in Angadipuram, a town steeped in Malabar's turbulent past. What begins as a hesitant return quickly drags him into a history defined by the lucrative spice trade and the brutal violence of the 1921 Mappilla Rebellion. Guided by Kannan Nair, an eccentric retired historian obsessed with the region's trauma, Sanju realizes the soil beneath his feet harbours deeply buried secrets. Long familiar with the legend of the vengeful yakshe, Sanju discovers that local myths are far more than mere folklore. His historical curiosity becomes deeply personal when he uncovers a hidden truth about his own lineage and the tragic saga of a woman named Sivakami. The search for answers leads Sanju to yakshe parambu, a forbidden grove rumoured to harbour Sivakami's unforgiving spirit. There, a harrowing encounter shatters his reality, raising a chilling question. Has the wronged woman truly returned as the lethal entity of myth to demand retribution? Bound to a legacy of family shame and historical turmoil, Sanju must confront a terrifying truth: the past never remains buried, and its debts are always paid in full. Yakshe is an atmospheric descent into the darkest corners of Kerala's history and human memory.
