This dramatic comedy follows three generations of sons' reactions to the death of the oldest in their clan, a man named Century Gowda. Set in a remote village in South India, the three storylines intertwine before converging at Century Gowda's thithi - the final funeral celebration. Century Gowda's eldest son, Gadappa, is himself a little old man who spends his time wandering the village fields, puffing cheap cigarettes and swigging brandy. Gadappa's far more materialistic son, Thamanna, plots to illegally sell Century Gowda's property, even though the land officially belongs to his father. At the same time, Thamanna's confident pubescent son, Abhi, shrugs his responsibilities to relentlessly pursue a shepherd girl.
