The story of the port revolves around the protests against the ‘chappa’ system and other illegal occupations that existed in the 1940s in the Mattancherry port areas of Kochi. Nivin plays the role of Moidhu from Mattancherry and Jojo arrives as Maimoo.
The story begins in the 1920s when the new Kochi port was being built. Many people from all over the country flock to the offices of labor contractors in search of work. It’s a time when workers are fighting each other for metal tokens thrown by contractors and chimpanzees, and for a job that will get them an early date.
The port of Cochin, which later grew into a story dating back to the 1940s and ’50s, became a breeding ground for a mafia consisting of contractors, capitalists and their affiliated union leaders. It is a time when workers have to fight for their right to work and live with dignity. The port is the story of the survival of a family and a village going through these turbulent times. ‘Port’ portrays the story of two generations who are torn between good and evil, between tragedy and heroic resistance, between hope and despair.
Directed by Rajeev Ravi, the screenplay and dialogues are written by Gopan Chidambaram.
