+Told in flashback, this is the story of how four
+fine young men achieved communist political
+consciousness in a peasant rising against a
+villainous landlord in 1943 in Kerala. The men,
+played by Menon, Murali, Nagavalli and Ravi,
+receive the revolutionary word from the
+schoolteacher (Gopi) and spread the message
+among the ignorant villagers. They end up as
+revered heroes condemned to be hanged by
+the British for treason. When asked for their
+last wish, they all ask to see their beloved
+teacher once more. The story was adapted,
+without credit, from Niranjana’s epic novel
+Chirasmarane (1955). Director Rajendran later
+contested two general elections backed by the
+Kerala CPI(M), from whose viewpoint he tells
+this tale.
