Her Uncle Singaram feels the loss even deeper, as he is the only one left to look after Anandhi, with all the tenderness and the hand wringing of an anxious father. Anandhi is of the age to be married, but she rejects each suitor and lives her life in quiet resolution to her circumstances. Until she meets Kavita, a brooding photographer, and falls in love.
