Plot
Madhavankutty is a schoolmaster in a remote village. He is respected by his students and his friends. But his wife keeps complaining that he does not help her in house. The village is "identity-less", as the title suggests.
When a theft happens in a moneylender's shop, everyone around is baffled. It results in sleepless nights for the panchayat president and the police officer in charge of the area. As they have no inkling about who the culprit may be, they devise a plan to catch someone with a previous record.
Madhavankutty is the sole eyewitness, as the shop is visible from the place where he lives. Much of the story is devoted to showing how Madhavankutty dodges the pressure tactics of the police and counters their arguments. But after this incident, people start moving away from him and the film is about how the incident changes his life.
