Synopsis
A free and compassionate human spirit is trapped in Shibu, an eleven-year-old boy. In order to guide Shibu's wandering energy on a constructive path, his widow mother sends him to the city from the village with his uncle. But Shibu's carefree approach to life and his energetic response to reality make him a subject of annoyance to the neighbour as well as his own aunt. This forces his uncle to be strict with him, and he takes him along to his shoe shop in order to keep a watch on him while studying. But the situation leads Shibu on a different track. Being asked by the uncle to carry a pair of shoes to a doctor's residence, Shibu ventures across the streets and lanes in his casual and carefree manner while encountering some stray incidents. But then something very sudden and unpredictable happens, which invites him to show his true potential and real merit to surprise the adults, effected by his indifferent attitude.Cast
