Storyline
• Oliver Twist (Indrans): A humble, kind, and tech-illiterate older man living in Thiruvananthapuram with his wife, father, and younger son.
• The Sons: His older son, Antony (Sreenath Bhasi), is a struggling film director facing writer's block, while his younger son, Charles (Naslen), is glued to social media.
• The Conflict: Oliver feels left out and yearns for attention from his sons, who often dismiss him or get annoyed by his lack of modern technological know-how.
• The Turnaround: Realizing that Antony might be ashamed of his old-fashioned ways, Oliver decides to learn smartphones and social media to bridge the gap and understand their world.
• The Climax: The narrative builds on emotional realizations, repairing broken bonds, and proving that a real home is built on love rather than digital connection.
