Story
Mappillai - ‘son-in-law’ in Tamil - is the rollicking story of journalist Carlo Pizzati, a European living with his in-laws in urban Chennai and with his wife in rural Paramankeni. When in Paramankeni, he finds himself in the company of fishermen and goat-herders, in a house where 3G asserts itself in a corner of the bathroom and electricity courses through rooms in fits and starts. With wry humour and jollity, wisdom and acceptance, Mappillai offers an intimate capsule of contemporary Indian history.
