In a modest home near the Tirupathi temple, 28-year-old homemaker Saraswathi and her husband Prasad, a bus conductor, live with their sons Arun (11) and Varun (10).

At 16, Saraswathi chose marriage over education out of love for Prasad. Her lack of formal schooling becomes a challenge when Arun struggles with math, particularly the concept of zero, leading to poor grades and humiliation from his teacher, Chanakya. The situation worsens with Arun’s suspension and Prasad’s decision to hold him back a year.

Their journey underscores the power of perseverance, family support, and community intervention in overcoming adversity.
