L.N. Villa by the Blue seaside
In 1950, a young banker named Naanu held his wife Susi’s hand on a moonlit beach and made a vow: they would be owners, not tenants. That promise became L.N. Villa, a majestic home by the Chennai Sea, where the laughter of four children and the aroma of filter coffee filled the halls for decades. It was a sanctuary of shared summers and a banyan tree whose roots grew as deep as the family’s bond.
21 years later, a successful designer in Bangalore and a young man in Hyderabad are pulled by an invisible thread towards the truth their families went to great lengths to hide. From the idyllic summers of the ‘70s to the high-stakes reunions of the present day, this story explores how the foundations of a home are built not just on stone and mortar, but on stories we tell and the ones we keep hidden.
