''Bhoomi Malayalam'' depicts the plight of seven different women, each of whom represents different periods. Starting from the early 1980s, the film moves down to the present era.

== Plot == The movie recounts an incident that took place in Thillenkeri in Kannur district on 1948 April 15. The Communist Party was struggling against the rule of Jawaharlal Nehru at that period. In Thillenkeri, comrade Ananthan Master was the leader of the Communist Party.
