Synopsis
"Two young men, Jack and Leo, are both courting the same girl. For seven long years they persist, but she finally gives herself to the 'horrible Gideon.' In a sense, just as this is the pretext for the film, so the courtships of Vera is a pretext for Jack and Leo to camp out together in the Vermont woods near her home, and to indulge themselves in the wildest of horseplay and high jinks. The film has a Giffithian flavor, a lyrical naivete, which is extremely touching. At the same time it is full of sophisticated film parodies - Rashomon, the New Wave, Douglas Fairbanks, Ma and Pa Kettle. In short, this is one of the most completely American films ever made, in its combination of anarchistic wackiness with a nostalgic sense of the lost frontier and (maybe they're both the same) the magic of youth." -Richard Roud, in the program notes for The First New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center NY, screening September 14, 1963.Actors

Quand Jack et Leo, qui depuis sept ans aiment tous les deux Vera, se décident à la demander en mariage, ils découvrent avec consternation, qu'elle a épousé « l'horrible Gédéon ». Pour se remettre de leur déception et tenter d'oublier Vera, ils s'en vont parcourir les forêts du Vermont couvertes de neige, faisant les fous et dormant sous la tente. Mais ils n'arrivent pas à oublier la femme qu'ils aiment, chacun la revoyant, en flashbacks, de façon très personnelle : Leo se souvient de ses visites annuelles à Vera chaque été, tandis que Jack se remémore les visites annuelles qu'il lui faisait chaque hiver. Tout à leurs souvenirs, ils enchainent les cuites, et les péripéties : feu de camp qui devient incendie, chasse à l'ours, découverte d'un arbre à femmes, le réalisateur rendant, au passage hommage à D. W. Griffith et à son film À travers l'orage... Leur rencontre avec deux détenus évadés va mettre un terme à leur périple.

During a walk to the park Raghuraman (Prakash Raj) meets Sudhakar (Prithviraj Sukumaran) and tells him about daughter Abhi (Trisha Krishnan). Raghuraman is the loving husband of Anu (Aishwarya Sivachandran) and the worrisome as well as caring father of his only daughter Abhi. Together they live a calm and content life in Ooty. Also living with them is "Ravi Shastri" (Elango Kumaravel) who was earlier a beggar and was adopted by Abhi. Raghuraman and Abhi become best friends. Over the years as Abhi grows up, Raghuraman has the joy of being a part of her life. When Abhi gets accepted in a prestigious college in New Delhi, Raghuraman is shocked. Although the thought of being separated from his daughter for two whole years is heartbreaking, Raghuraman wearily accepts. After returning from college, Abhi tells her parents that she has fallen in love with a young man in Delhi. Anu is perfectly all right with the idea, but Raghuraman is angry and scared. He shouts at Abi and does not talk to her properly. Anu later informs Raghuraman that their future son-in-law will be arriving by flight and staying with them for a while. As soon as Raghuraman meets his future son-in-law, Joginder Singh (Ganesh Venkatraman), he is taken aback because Joginder is a Sikh. After many conflicts with Abhi and Anu, Raghuraman finally realizes that Joginder is self-sacrificing and quite talented, more so when on one occasion the Prime Minister calls him for advice. Abhi and Joginder get married and leave for Delhi. Anu and Abhi get teary-eyed, but Raghuraman stays calm. This is very surprising because he was the one that had cried on his daughter's first day to school. Raghuraman tells Sudhakar that he still stays in touch with his daughter and often gets to see her. Sudhakar understands how Raghuraman feels because he has a baby daughter himself. The movie ends with a phone call from Abhi.
