The story is set in rural Mandya in 1990s. He is taken off school at a young age and is sold off to a jaggery mill as bonded labour. One day Shivu's curiosity is triggered by droplets from leaky roof. He accidentally discovers the raindrops to behave like a lens thus starting his journey of various experiments at home. As the story progresses, the jaggery mill is forced to shut down due to debt. This provides an opportunity for Shivu and other kids to enrol in a school.
