So the full phrase suggests:
: Reethu becomes a central figure in the investigation because of her potential connection to the missing girls, though her fragmented memory makes her an unreliable narrator.
: What look like "flowers" are actually modified leaves called . The true flowers are tiny and white at the center. Growth Habit
At the heart of the narrative is Reethu (played by Jyothirmayi), a woman struggling with retrograde amnesia following a devastating car accident eight years prior. Her world is a carefully curated reality maintained by her husband, Dr. Royce Thomas (Kunchacko Boban). The film effectively uses Reethu’s condition to place the audience in the shoes of an unreliable narrator. Her obsession with painting bougainvillea flowers serves as more than a hobby; it is a manifestation of hidden trauma and a desperate attempt to bridge the gaps in her memory.
The film borrows thematic elements from the Korean film A Hard Day , but the writers have adapted the core idea to fit a psychological trauma backdrop, making it an adaptation that feels native to Kerala's landscape.
