Movie description:
Manjadikuru tells a bittersweet story about a family getting together for the funeral of its patriarch, seen through a 10 year old boy named Vicky. While the grown-ups bicker and wait anxiously for the deceased’s will to be read in those 16 days of funeral rites, Vicky, his cousins Kannan and Manikutty and a servant girl named Roja slowly strike up friendships and experience the magic of rural India that would last their lifetimes.
In the mid 1970s, 10-year-old Vicky arrives in Kerala, to attend his grandfather’s funeral. Vicky’s ancestral home is a beautiful cavernous house in a rural Kerala village. The disjointed big family has come together at the otherwise desolate home. The traditional funeral rites of sixteen days, lay the perfect ground to relive all their mutual quirks and past tensions. In midst of the infighting, Vicky befriends the children. The innocent beliefs of the children exist parallel to the cynical distrust of the adults. But story that evolves in the midst of this is about someone else: Roja, the servant girl who is neither child nor adult, neither insider nor outsider. With her, Vicky and the children journey through anexperience that steals their innocence from them, replacing it with misplacedguilt. Decades later Vicky returns to his ancestral home to tell us about those sixteen days that left indelible impressions on all their lives.
