Unni comes from an upper-caste family - a privileged world that leaves
him frustrated by its seemingly arbitrary rules. Fortunately for him,
he shares a love for pranks with his pals Gopi, Ramu and Raju that makes
each day at school a new adventure. Whether taunting their instructor
with itching powder or spying on the girls in the bathroom, these merry
mischief-makers share an inseparable bond despite their caste differences.
As adults and society at large attempt to divide the boys, the arrogance
and wisdom of youth binds the friends even tighter as they face troubles
at home and on the road ahead.
Beneath the humor of boyish pranks that will certainly take viewers
back to their youth lies a poignant portrait of a child’s awakening
to the complexities of life with a fusion of humor, heart and nostalgia
guaranteed to appeal to viewers of all ages. Cannes award winning filmmaker,
Murali Nair, returned to the school in Kerala where he once studied
to find the boys who make up the inseparable quartet of boys in LIFE
IS ALL ABOUT FRIENDS, the first in a trilogy.
