The film starts in the early 1950s showing Sreedharan, the protagonist, as a very popular

communist leader and trade union activist. He is forced to go underground after his name
is associated with the murder of the owner of a tile factory. He is considered to be dead
by his party and they even erect a memorial for him. But he makes an unexpected
comeback almost 10 years later, after the first communist ministry gained and lost power
in Kerala and after the Communist Party of India has split. On his return, he spends his
time sleeping and drinking. His comeback is first a puzzle and then an embarrassment to
his comrades and family. As the disappointment on his new face grows, he is found
murdered. The film ends when both the communist parties jointly celebrate his
martyrdom. A discussion was carried out about this movie in Russian Parliament.
