The documentary tells the story of an indigenous couple named Bomman and Bellie as they care for an orphaned baby elephant. The film focuses on the special connection that develops between an animal and those who look after it.

The couple who belong to the Kattunayakan community, which is a tribal group that has been protecting the forest for generations.The documentary is filled with heartfelt moments that show how much the elephants and the people who look after them care for one other. In one of a warming scene, baby elephant Ammu seen wiping away Bellie’s tears when she breaks down over Raghu’s separation.

Big congratulations to the entire team! This is undoubtedly a historic moment in the history of Indian cinema.
