THE KIDS (KUNCHALE) discusses how a couple of passionate teachers strive to solve the dilemma of a pedagogic structure in dealing with ethnic complexities of different language systems in a Dravidian terrain.

Happened to be posted at Edamalakudi, a desolate place surrounded by thick forest which is not easily accessible by the outside world, KUNCHALE portrays how these young teachers wholeheartedly took up the challenge to bridge the language barrier between the children of Edamalakudi and the outside world.
