Set in a coastal village in Tamil Nadu, Kattumaram follows Singaram, a traditional fisherman who becomes the guardian of his niece, Anandhi, a teacher at the local school, after the tragic loss of their family to a tsunami. As Singaram endeavors to find a suitable husband for Anandhi, he discovers her romantic same-sex relationship with Kavita, a photography instructor at the school. The revelation challenges Singaram's beliefs, leading him on a journey of understanding and acceptance.
