==Plot== The story is set in the port city of [[Cochin]], where the lives of several people are intertwined. Kochuthresia is a prostitute who services foreign ship captains, and she lives for her daughter, Rosie. Her husband has died, and she has no other means of earning a livelihood. Rosario Sayipu, an Anglo-Indian officer on a ship, brings Kochuthresia to the attention of ship captains. Peter, Rosario's son, is a fisherman who owns a boat and is deeply in love with Rosie. However, he is also involved with other Anglo-Indian women. Hamza lives by selling smuggled goods from ships and is in love with Rosie, but she only has eyes for Peter.
Rosario discovers Peter and Rosie's relationship and is against it. Despite his father's objections, Peter continues to see Rosie. In a desperate attempt to stop the relationship, Rosario tries to rape Rosie, but she is saved by Hamza. Peter decides to marry Rosie against his father's advice. However, Rosie discovers that Peter has other relationships, and she decides to end their relationship and become close to Hamza.
Then the Christmas nativity song 'Shantharathri Thirurathri' plays.

Hamza comes to her rescue, and a fight ensues between him and Peter. During the altercation, Peter stabs Hamza and throws him into the sea. The film ends with Rosie mourning Hamza's death.
