Synopsis

What we carry is not ours. Until we let it go.

When Janakivallabhan, a flawed but gifted designer from Chennai, impulsively takes a mystical mask from a Chinese billionaire’s private vault, he unlocks dormant powers, becomes fluent in Classical Chinese, and is swept into an ancient prophecy that could either mend or tear apart the fabric of Sino-Indian history.

Yemian follows G.V, a spirited home décor designer from Chennai with an unusual trait—his hands have a mind of their own. His compulsion to “collect” odd objects, often without permission, has cost him respect and peace at home. But when a fateful business trip takes him to China, a single impulsive act shatters the membrane between myth and reality.

While visiting the opulent mansion of Lee—a Chinese billionaire descended from the Xia dynasty—G.V is enchanted by a ceremonial mask. He takes it. That night, the mask fuses to his face. He wakes up speaking flawless Chinese and moving with a grace that defies logic. What seems like possession is, in fact, revelation: the mask has chosen him.

Across the continent, atmospheric chaos unfolds. A wormhole appears over Mumbai’s skyline. Skyscrapers tremble. Whispers of war echo across political lines. The mask, it turns out, is not just an artifact—it’s a remnant of a celestial contract made between two ancient empires, meant to bind power and peace. But its theft has reactivated dormant forces—one of which is Iravan, the charismatic and brutal heir of a lineage marked by betrayal, born to fulfill a prophecy soaked in blood.

Fleeing assassins and spiritual emissaries alike, G.V is taken under the wing of an old ascetic who reveals the truth: this is not about fate—it’s about karmic repair. The compulsion that haunted G.V all his life? Not madness, but inheritance. His ancestors once served the mask’s original bearer, and now the cosmos demands atonement through him.

As India and China teeter toward conflict, Jeevi must confront his past—his broken family, the shame of his compulsions, the weight of myth. Meanwhile, Iravan stages a violent resurgence, using modern weaponry and ancient rituals to tear open a wormhole of his own.
The final confrontation takes place on a mist-drenched peak straddling the Sino-Indian border. There, amid sacred chants and futuristic warfare, the mask is ripped from G.V, rendering him mortal again. But he has changed. No longer the thief who hides, he confronts Iravan—not with power, but with memory. It is not strength that ends the war, but sacrifice.

In the aftermath, the mask is returned to its spiritual guardians. G.V, now silent and whole, floats the mask down a river in Tamil Nadu, his daughters at his side. A fisherman’s net catches it—perhaps a new story is about to begin.

Yemian is a mytho-scientific epic told across languages and lifetimes. It blends high-octane action with philosophical inquiry, charting one man’s journey from shame to purpose, and from chaos to clarity, all through the gaze of a mask that remembers everything the world has tried to forget.
