Kalippattam (transl. Toy) is a 1993 Indian
Plot
In the first scene, we are shown an old man named Venu who came with flowers to strew his lady's grave. The story is narrated through his memories. Venu was an educated young man who worked for a wealthy businessman Menon at his tea plantation. After being fired, he tried to get his job back by playing music for Menon's only daughter, Sarojam
Sarojam eventually falls in love with Venu and expresses her wish to marry him. Wanting to keep her unawares about her fatal condition,
When Ammu is a few years old, Sarojam develops severe symptoms of the disease. Dr. Menon suggests that bone marrow transplant may lead to a recovery in her. After the bone marrow transplant, Sarojam seem to recover but soon her condition worsens and she dies in the hands of Venu. Then we are shown the first scene, which was Venu standing aside Sarojam's grave. After a while, Unni, a close friend of Venu comes there to inform him that his daughter Ammu is also affected with the same disease. Venu is shocked but he was not allowed to cry even as Ammu should never know about this. The heartbroken Venu returns to his bungalow with Ammu. There he has a strange visitor named Hari, an unemployed young man, who comes there with a recommendation letter for a job. Soon, Venu realizes that, what has happened in his and Sarojam's life is getting repeated in his daughter's life too, through Hari. He allows Hari to stay there and in the last scene, Venu calls Hari to his room, in the same way as he was called by Menon for Sarojam's proposal.
