JOE’S REPUBLIC-The Legacy of an Idle

Born to an unwed mother who dies at his birth Joe Cherian has entered this world in the wrong place at the wrong time with a legacy he cannot inherit and an existence he cannot endure. Yet he does not mind living in his dead father's home even at the age of twenty-nine doing nothing except for eating drinking wine and reading novels. It is not that he is not ambitious. He is ambitious only for happiness and leisure which he feels is the ultimate goal of every man. He is neither disturbed by people's bitter jibes at his wasted life nor distraught at having to live with the one person he despises the most - his stepmother. Everything in his life is contrary but he is happy in the make-believe world of his own. However when the beautiful and bewitching Miss Wilson comes to rent a room in his lodge one night he fumbles miserably in her presence. And then something happens that turns his idyllic reverie into a nightmare. What is the secret behind this nightmare and how will he turn it into his cherished dream? Find out while you delve deep into the twisted plotlines and explore the virtues of idleness at ‘Joe’s RePUBlic’ set against the vintage backdrop of Kerala’s hill town Munnar.
