STREETLIGHT - Synopsis

The story of streetlight is all about a girl named Hima whose life undergoes sexual harassment and extreme humiliation at a very young age; and her glorious come back into a light of dignity. The story is a free-styled adaptation of the Malayalam novel “Oru pennum parayathathu.....” (The story never told by a woman...) written by Mr. V.R. Sankar.

Hima hails from a middle class family in Central Travancore. Her father under the influence of alcohol, rapes her while she is still an adolescent. Her mother who comes to know about it commits suicide. Following this, her father leaves the family. Her brother misuses her to his own advantage. Left as almost an orphan, she ventures into labor work to make a livelihood. But there too she faces exploitation and harassment from male workers.

Later pressure from all sides drags her into prostitution. She adopts a minor girl raped and abandoned by some unknown persons. As she finds out the bitter truth of being an Aids patient, she decides to entrust the child to an orphanage and gets ready to face death. Her old friend Murukan seeks to sleep with her. But she backs out and forbids him, so as not to get him infected with the deadly disease.

Her life takes a miraculous turn as she gives up the thought of suicide and takes up the role of a brave -hearted and committed social worker. Adopting many street children and pioneering women’s and children’s welfare, she carves out her own place in the society.

Her autobiography wins the state award for literature. And the Mother Theresa award for the best social worker is given to her.
