Plot

Widower Murugan moves to Kerala with his three children and irons clothes to make a living. While dealing with daily issues, he also aims to fund the operation of his child who is visually impaired. They come across Suvarna who belongs to a rich household and is living the last days of her life, as she is suffering from a disease. She bonds with the family, especially the visually impaired daughter of Murugan, and gives her consent to have her eyes donated to the child after her imminent death. The family, especially the children are caught in a dilemma, whether to wish for her death (as that would mean eyes for the child) or her recovery. Murugan advises them to pray for her good health. Later, she dies but her busy husband and family does not care about her pledge to donate eyes and she is cremated without eye donation procedures. Initially saddened by this turn of events, Murugan and the family goes back to their usual life with their positive outlook amidst poverty.
