Kaananthurai,

Manapadu! Let's go!

You scared me

l thought my boat

had hit a shark

l bit my tongue

You hurt me then offer me

a green mint

What's that?

Were you in hospital? Looks like

you just walked out

Are you unwell?

Are you mute? Can you

hear me at all?

- Where to?

- Kaananthurai. One ticket

Got a ticket?

Which stop?

Who is that?

Your sister? Or eloping?

Never mind. Give me another

- l want to know who pays

- What a pest!

Here. Your ticket

Want some biryani?

lt's tasty

l bought it for Father Sam. But

he won't be appeased

Have some

l'll leave it here

Are you from the convent?

Why did you run away?

Who the hell is that ass?

l'm looking for a girl

from our convent

l won't go back to hospital

So she does talk after all

But a girl raised by nuns?

Your worlds are poles apart

Kovilkutti!

- l want to see Father

- Why are you dancing?

He's lost it

Thomas, are you drunk?

Father, he wants to convert

to Christianity

What religion does he follow now?

The religion of food

Father, l want to register

l'd like you to baptise me

Tell us about your family.

Let's see if they're in here

Found it, Father?

ls his grandfather a friend of

Saint Xavier?

Name:
Thomas

Village:
Kaananthurai

Mother's name:

Sagaya Mary

- Father's name?

- Chetty. Chetty Barnabas

What are you saying?

lt's an official register

Don't enter it

Chetty will throttle us

l'll handle it

You'll be baptised next Sunday.

l'll explain it to you tomorrow

Come sober

l dare you to come drunk!

Chetty is here. You

think Kovilkutti told him?

Thomas, let's talk inside

What's there to talk about?

lt's a question of honour

The son of a identified

me as his father

You blindly entered it

in the register

Just wait. Let the Bishop come.

l'll slaughter you

Chetty, this is a church. No violent

talk here. Calm down

Give me that register.

l'll burn it

Most mothers tell their children

who their father is

Hear me out

What the hell?

She was a whore,

buried in a wasteland

He's her son.

Satan's spawn

Born in sin.

He'll die in sin

Why allow him into the church?

Why protect him?

He's the son of Jesus.

God's child

Then register Jesus as his father.

Damn you

Chetty, mind your tongue

You buried the lame woman

The whole village knows

l buried ten stray dogs too. Are

their puppies my offspring?

Ok, l will dig them all up

l'll do whatever it takes

l'll pay you anything

Money, money!

Am l a whore like

your mother?

You'll buy me with money?

But l really believed...

Better you die

Chetty, enough!

You worm, get out!

Chetty, go

Happy now? Why bring this

on yourself?

Chetty!

Who's there?

Who are you?

Bergmans!

Get up, Bergmans
