ENGA OORU KAATTILAE

ENGA OORU KAATTILAE (TAMIL SHORT FILM WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)

Sivaraman, shortly called Siva, is a simple villager who earns his living from his land and from working in others’. He is known for solving the problems that come about with his practical understanding of the situation. His loving wife, Uma, also works in the fields along with Siva. Uma is hardworking and takes care of all of the household duties as well.

Nine-year-old Saravanan was born after many long years of Uma and Siva’s marriage. He is the apple of their eyes and the heart of their hearts.

Saravanan is playful and kind to everyone. He loves drawing more than anything in the world. He draws anything he sees on any surface – the bark of a tree or a wall or the floor. Saravanan also improves his drawing skills with his father’s support.

Saravanan can be just spending hours drawing something or exploring something on the fields, alone, except for one situation. He feels scared to walk alone or be alone when it is dark.

When Saravanan was hit with a medical condition that could cost his eyes, leading to permanent darkness, how does Siva, who found practical solutions for many hurdles in his life, handle it? How does Uma take it? And above all, did Saravanan succumb to what he faced? Or did he survive it?
