10岁的Vicky来到克拉拉邦的一个小村庄，但是整个故事是成年的Vicky向我们讲述他多年后回到家乡。他成年后的思考和童年时期感受到的不一样-童年记忆历历在目，引领着他回到过去的时光。一直孤灵灵的房屋现在喧闹起来，分开多年的大家族成员前来参加祖父的葬礼。这不但是一次思乡怀旧更是重返纯真年代的旅行。

A story of homecoming from late 1970s, when 10 year old Vicky arrives at his grandparents home in rural Kerala to attend his grandfather's funeral. The disjointed family gathers together for the sixteen day long funeral period. During this period, Vicky discovers more about himself, his family and culture than he had expected to. The journey is narrated through the memories of an adult Vicky who returns to the same house to recount the experience.

A quirky amusing look at the world of that time through the eyes of Vicky, who tells us that he was part of the "excess baggage" that his NRI parents brought from the Gulf. Taking us through sixteen days of fun, friendship, mangoes, tadpoles, family and many more things that changed his life, Vicky reveals the child within him.
