The film gently unravels whether Abhilash will finally muster the courage to express what he's held inside for so long.The plot thickens when Sherin asks him to send ten bottles of a specific attar (a traditional perfume) from his store to a friend overseas. What begins as a simple favor unexpectedly lands Abhilash in a minor legal entanglement. His best friend, Navas Vallikkunnu — who also happens to be a lawyer — steps in. But rather than resolving the matter directly, Navas slyly adds fuel to the fire in hopes of bringing Abhilash and Sherin emotionally closer.As their paths entwine once more, the narrative introduces Thaju, a pivotal supporting character who helps shape the direction of their rekindled relationship. Throughout the film, a series of twists, miscommunications, and heartfelt revelations gradually reshape the characters' lives.The movie boasts a rich cast, featuring powerful performances by Saiju Kurup, Tanvi Ram, Arjun Ashokan, Binu Pappu, Navas Vallikkunnu, Sheethal Zackaria, Nimna Fathoomi, Vasudev Sajeesh, Ajisha Prabhakaran, Aadhish Praveen, Zhinz Shan, and Nandana Rajan.
