• The curtain of the film lifts with the scene of Esther Anil, a student, reading a book while loitering in the hall room with her father. The setting changes as there are screaming sounds from the house of a neighbour, hinting at a woman being abused by her husband.
• Sreekanth Murali, playing the father, tries to ignore the floating cries initially but when it doesn't stop, he takes a step. The step of shutting the curtains of the window, trying to cut off the noise.
• Disappointed by her father's actions, Anil sorts to take a step herself when she calls the abusive neighbour and utters some words in Malayalam which apparently makes him stop his actions right away. Her dialogue roughly translates to, " Don't brother, you will be punished."
• Manju Warrier comes in at the end of the film with a warning message stating this is not old Kerala anymore and such atrocities will be punished for sure.
