A charming coming-of-age tale featuring a madcap dysfunctional family. Robin Shute P, aka Boy, grows up in Tangy, a coastal village in Kerala. His staunchly Communist father, Accha, saddles Boy with a puzzling name thanks to his own fascination with a girl named Alice. Growing up in a borderline dysfunctional family, Boy has an eventful childhood his mother is anxiety-ridden, his boisterous sister Suki lords over him and his two dogs, though tiny, are quite vicious. Boys own quirks, eccentricities and his occasionally hare-brained schemes dont help him much either.
