Penguin

Penguin

A sinister-looking stranger in a Charlie Chaplin mask holds a bloody bag while walking into a lake. Rhythm, a young woman who resides in Kodaikanal, married to her husband Gautham, is seven months pregnant. While at the hospital for a follow-up appointment, Rhythm recalls her past. Six years earlier, Rhythm was married to another man named Raghu and together, they had a son named Ajay. One day while Rhythm is reading a story about a missing penguin and its mother, Raghu tells Rhythm that her friend Bhavana's father has died. Raghu and Rhythm go to Bhavana's house with Ajay. There they run into Rhythm's other friend Abi, and her husband Kathir. Rhythm and Raghu go into the house where they see Bhavana unresponsive, in a dazed state. Rhythm tries to reassure Bhavana, but Bhavana does not respond. Raghu tells Rhythm to give Bhavana her space and the two leave the house. They then realize that Ajay has gone missing and Raghu blames her for Ajay's disappearance. They search everywhere in the house and eventually, Kathir finds Ajay outside the house. Back to the present, a nurse tells Rhythm that she is next to see the doctor. While waiting, she plays peek a boo with a little girl but when she closes her eyes, the girl is nowhere to be found. She eventually finds out that the girl's mom picked her up. But as she sees a big hoard of insects on the ceiling she has a gory flashback and passes out.
