In 1990, Deemantha is a young dancing teacher. He is diagnosed with lung cancer, shocking his mother, Maya, and adoptive father, Dharmapriya. Deemantha thinks that his late father, Gunendra has died from the same type of cancer. However, Dharmapriya informs him that Gunendra's death was not due to cancer and decides to tell him the story of Gunendra's life.

His doctor warns that Gunendra's life expectancy is a mere 3 months. Meanwhile, Dharmapriya learns about an Ayurvedic doctor who offers to cure cancer of an advertisement. The advertisement tells him the man is named Appuhami and can be found in rural village, Thalakiriyagama. Gunendra travels to the doctor who then cures him and advises him to stay away from alcohol.
