Father insists she collect her share.

If he can't support his wife and children,

let him say so.

I'll say so to him.

- I'm leaving, Aunt.

- Won't you have lunch?

I don't give a damn about your lunch.

Sridevi...

Someone's come. Go and see.

You bother me for every little thing.

Can't you go and see yourself?

Who is it?

I bet you don't recognise me.

I swear I didn't.

What a change!

With those dark glasses

nobody will recognise you.

Your father didn't mention

that you were coming.

I felt like coming home...

I took the next flight out.

The company pays the fare.

It is a surprise.

She has grown into a woman!

I brought this for you.

Sorry, I didn't invite you to sit down.

I'll make some coffee for you.

Young master, it's me, Mathew.

Don't you recognise me?

I did recognise you.

Are you on leave? Or...

Is life so hard over there?

Is it all manual work?

Yes, some manual work.

How have you gone so dark?

Have you been working in the sun?

I must leave. I have an appointment.

If you are going home,

tell your father I want to see him.

Has he gone?

Rajamma! Rajamma!

These rats are a menace.

It's the shirt you ironed yesterday.

We should poison them all.

They'll die and lie stinking.

Out of all our clothes

it picked on this shirt.

Sis...

Hurry up! There is a plane!

Come quick, it will disappear.

Where is it?

Too late.

The plane can't wait for you.

What's wrong?

I feel like I'm going blind.

I feel better. I can see now.

Still scared?

Madam...

It's you?

One never sees you resting.

Want to say something?

Nothing in particular.

I would be grateful

if you could spare some oil for me.

Don't feed stray dogs,

for heaven's sake.

Most of them are mad.

Can I wash in your pond?

You people wash in the temple pond,

don't you?

I asked for your permission.

It doesn't matter.

Tonic for rejuvenation!

Rajamma, get my pen and paper.

Sridevi...

- What is it?

- Quiet.

Thieves are stealing our coconuts.

- Shall we wake him up?

- Yes.

- Brother, wake up!

- What is it?

Not so loud. Thieves!

Thieves?

Not here. They are cutting

the coconuts. Get out of bed.

What, go outside? Now?

Let the thieves be.

You are imagining things.

Can't you hear?

There could be rats in the tree.

Better go to sleep.

Goodness me! Look at this!

Sridevi, see that?

The thieves have been considerate.

They've left the husks for us.

Call Brother. Let him see.

What's the use of that?

God, I seek your blessing.

Sis, our big sister is here.

Gone are the days of prosperity.

Isn't Brother home?

He's gone out,

maybe to the temple.

It is late evening...

How does it matter

when necessity makes you do things?
