The story takes us to a middle-class house where Amma loves gardening but is in a foul mood today because her plants are all dull and droopy. Now, Amma can be very competitive and when Appa makes the nasty mistake of complimenting her neighbour’s plants over hers, Amma’s anger bursts out of her.
The result is a banter that sees Appa take on a gargantuan challenge, all in the pursuit of proving a point.
