The central question arises: do group trips hold the same significance for every participant? Moreover, how can individual perspectives impact the overall ambiance of the journey? “Falimy” takes the audience on a compelling journey with a family of five from Thiruvananthapuram as they set out to fulfill the wish of their elderly patriarch by traveling to Varanasi/Banaras/Kashi in Uttar Pradesh.
However, the family members each harbor personal motives for agreeing to this trip, leading to a lack of camaraderie among them. This lack of unity manifests in continuous quarrels, exchanges of harsh words, constant complaints, nagging, and a blame game, making the journey tumultuous. The elderly patriarch, who initially envisioned a solo adventure, finds the dynamics challenging.
As the dysfunctional family, subtly emphasized by the intentional misspelling in the title, encounters unexpected events along the way, conflicts intensify, forcing the elderly man to make a drastic decision. The remainder of the film delves into the repercussions of these unforeseen events.
