Plot

Solomon's mother and college-going cousin Antony and a female relative who helps at the house lives in Mysore. Paul Pailokkaran, a railway employee, his wife, a nurse and two young daughters, Sofia and college-going Elizabeth, are the new inhabitants at the neighbouring house. Solomon lives in a farm and vineyard he owns in the outskirts of Mysore and comes to visit his mother once in a while. On one such visit, he meets Sofia and they are shown to begin to share a sweet bond. Romance blossoms. Sofia was born to her mother in her premarital love affair and her father is only her step-father. He often shows intention to molest her. She communicates all this to Solomon and their bond strengthens. They dream of a life together in his vineyard, laughing, smiling, loving, waking up to the chirping of birds and going around in his tanker lorry.

But when Solomon informs his mother of his love, she first disagrees to the marriage as Paul Pailokkaran is an uncouth person and he further reveals Sofia's birth secret to Solomon's mother in an attempt to prevent her marriage with Solomon. But Solomon finally manages to convince his mother and the marriage plans are set in motion. An irked Paul Pailokkaran, on a day when Sofia was alone at home for some time, attacks her, renders her unconscious and rapes her. Solomon, his mother and Sofia's mother come home to discover a distraught Sofia and learn of the rape. Solomon's mother decides once and for all that her son should not enter into alliance with such a family or such a girl. Fighting with his mother, Solomon leaves in his bike. Sofia is consoled by her mother that nothing has happened to her and she accepts it tearfully but expresses her pain that a person who ought to be in her father's position did this to her. Paul Pailokkaran returns home and is unremorseful. He taunts Sofia and her mother that now no-one will come to marry her.

In the wee hours of the next morning, everyone is awaken by the resounding horn of a tanker lorry. After the second horn, Solomon comes at the door of Sophie's home, calling out for her. Paul Pailokkaran opens the door and slyly smiling, says "now you can take her". Solomon hits him black and blue, calling out for Sofia again. When she finally comes out, he goes up to her, tells her "Hadn't we agreed if you didn't come out even after the second horn, I'll come pick you up and go?!" and, lifting her onto his shoulders, takes her to their tanker lorry, and, as his mother and cousin and Sofia's mother and half-sister look on,(implying that his mother has accepted her son's unconditional love now) drives out into the dawn, both of them smiling and hugging each other.
