Revolving around a 10-year-old boy who’s being punished by his father and decides to avenge him (father), ‘Thaththa’ narrates about the deep love a father could have on his children.
Ten-year old Ruwan lives with his mother and father Ratnapala who is a day labourer. Ratnapala punishes his son regularly which turns out to be a mental torture for young Ruwan who develops a hatred towards his father.
One day Kalu mudalali, a rich man in the area assigns Ratnapala to clean one of his stores. Mudalali opens the door of the store for Ratnapala to clean and Ruwan who awaits a chance to get rid of his father locks him inside and runs back home. He keeps this as a secret but throughout the day it disturbs him and sometimes he feels the need of his father. Finally he confesses to his mother what he had done to his father and both run to rescue Ratnapala. Would they be too late and what would have happened to Ratnapala-Thaththa?
