Plot

The story of Swapaanam deals with the life of Unni (Jayaram), hailing from a family of Chenda (drum) artists. During the childhood itself, Unni suffers mental problem followed by an accident. Unequaled in the art of playing the Chenda, Unni and Nalini (Kadambari), peerless in Mohiniyattam, are drawn to each other by an affection that transcends the devotion to their arts and the love for each other. The pulse of their passion cannot hold up against the tumults of Unni's life. A brother and a father figure, whose love sours to jealousy and hate, a wife who despises his drumming and a mother from whom the truth about his birth is not forthcoming all hasten the tempo of a mental imbalance rooted in Unni's childhood to an inevitable dark end.
