Synopsis: Eight-year old Kallu has an intense desire to visit the Sabarimala Temple. Immensely attached to Lord Ayyappa, she has a dwindling window of time to make the pilgrimage given her age. Events in her life make it unlikely that she can make the journey, and the story is about how she and her cousin attempt to overcome many risks to make this pilgrimage, receiving help from unexpected quarters in their journey. In the lore of the Sabarimala Temple, the pilgrimage typically starts 41 days before the commencement of the actual journey to the remote temple located deep in the forest, when the pilgrims whether male (of all ages) or female (under ten or over fifty) commit themselves to the journey following a life of austerity and address each other as Swamy (for males) or Malikappuram (for females). In essence, pilgrims who have committed themselves to this journey become divinities themselves.
