Vaazhai

Twelve Year Old Sivanaindhan Lives Alongside His Mother, Sister and Friend in a Village of Wage Earners Who Work at Plantain Plantations, and Hopelessly Seeks to Live the Merry Life of a Flitting Butterfly. Between Constant Hunger and Trying to Stop His Mother's Tears, He Spends His School Holidays by Lugging Plantains Instead of Playing. Into His Parched Life, a School Teacher Descends Like a Gentle Drizzle and Drenches Him With Her Love.
