Poongodi, known as Mayilaa, leaves her abusive husband and begins again with her young daughter in a rural village in South India. With little education and few options, she sells mats to survive and to honor a commitment she has made as an important temple festival approaches. In a world that offers her little protection, Mayilaa turns to the village goddess Mayilaatha, revered by women seeking strength and justice. Under mounting pressure, she enters trance-like states believed to be divine possession, moments where grief, faith, and resistance surface without restraint. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a reckoning, as Mayilaa claims a life shaped by her own will.
