Vengadam (
Prakash Raj ), a humble, charming silk weaver living in Kanchivaram, a town inTamil Nadu known for its fine silk saris. In the late forties,India faced the convulsive change of independence, but Vengadam lives within the same rigid social structure endured by his ancestors. He works weaving expensive saris from the rarest silks, but could never afford the gorgeous garments he produces. And so he dreams: by the time his baby daughter grows up, he will have woven a sari for her wedding day. To do this he will need patience. Every day he steals single threads of brightly coloured silk from his workplace, smuggling them home for the project that will define his life.Cast
