---------------------------------------------------------------------
Naalu Pennungal is the story of four women from Kuttanad in Alleppey district in Kerala. The stories are set in the years between 1940s to the 1960s.
The first story profiled is the story of a street prostitute Kunjipennu (Padmapriya) and Pappukutty (Sreejith Ravi) who decide to make a life ot of themselves as husband and wife. They have bound themselves in matrimony that does not have any legal sanction. So the law catches up with them, they do not have anything that can be an evidence of their commitment towards each other. The story has a predictable ending when the couple is separated and punished for aspiring to build their future together without any official sanction. All Pappukutty and Kunjipennu are left with are the fragments of their love.
Cut to Kumari (Geethu Mohandas). Kumari is a girl who has not shied away from the responsibility of looking after her ageing parents. She works in the paddy fields and has saved enough for her own dowry. Her parents have found her a boy named Naayanan who is very hardworking and wise about his money and his only weakness is that he likes to watch films and he goes to the theatre every week to watch a new film.
