The village of Chembai was found to be entirely musically gifted and even a layman enjoyed a classical Karnatic music performance, just as a trained individual would. This quality was found to be attributed to the real gem of the villages Kottai and Chembai, Padma Bhushan Chembai, the Karnatic classical singer who wasn't merely an artiste, but was the man who valued the power of knowledge and music above all. This film is a collection of anecdotes recollected by the disciples of Chembai, an attempt made by the filmmaker to learn about the man who has been the key inspiration behind the Chembai Parthasarathy Music Festival that has been going on for over 100 years now.
