What happens

Ayaal is a 2013 Indian Malayalam-language film directed by Suresh Unnithan. Lal, Lena, Ineya and Lakshmi Sharma play the lead roles. The story, screenplay and dialogue of the film is written by Dr. K. Ampady. The film is produced by Madhusoodanan Mavelikara (Seashell Movies) and M. T. Dileep Kumar (Elements Vision). The cinematography is by Sujith Vasudev. Ayaal was earlier titled Nagabandham. The film was released on 28 June 2013. Ayaal is a story of intense human relations. It's a story of a man who effortlessly floated along the estuaries of time, the backwaters of Vembanad. If love is the flowering of one's own heart, can it have a direction? Is it Scalar (directionless). This is an uncomfortable question raised by him, the protagonist, Guru Dasan. The film problematizes the conventional fabric of human relations, its rules and its sanctity. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
