Unni

---

The first in a trilogy, 'Life is All About Friends' tells the story of Unni, a young boy from a village in Kerala, South India, and his friends Gopi, Ramu and Raju as they get together at the start of a new school year.

Unni comes from an upper-caste, Nair family. His mother and grandmother, with whom he lives, enforce the strict, orthodox rules Nair’s are expected to follow. It's a privileged world, but one that leaves Unni frustrated. Fortunately for him, life outside home is very different.

Like many boys growing up in Kerala, Unni's father works in the Middle East and so he grows up without a male role model to emulate, or to discipline him. When his mother announces therefore that his father will be coming back to visit them, Unni is nervous.
