Synopsis : Paakaran, a twelve-year-old boy. His father was a boatman, who went missing when their boat capsized in a storm, & his body was never recovered. While going fishing, with two other people one morning, they encounter a corpse in the water, which they throw back into the river, lest they would get into trouble with the police. This becomes a major fright for him, who starts having nightmares fully knowing that it is not his father’s body. When he hears from the village astrologer about wandering souls whose last rites have not been done by their sons. He finds the corpse & alerts the police. The police, however, avoid the responsibility of tracking the identity of the corpse by pushing it back into the river. Paakaran, sets off on a quest to find the corpse again, to give a proper funeral as per advice of the astrologer. While he is burying it; the town police intercept him & takes him in for questioning. He is accused of murdering the man & getting rid of the dead body. He is terrorized, but finds a sympathizer in the same police station. Fate plays a game & he is released from police station. Miscellaneous events in his life lead to him leaving the village. While his boat leaves the shores suddenly, another body emerges out of the water. It’s another ‘unidentified’ body– with no one to care for them, or eager to identify them, or give them a proper farewell. It’s another dead soul floating into the sea. Nameless & inconsequential.
