Chithi
Set in a desolate home, the film follows Kushal, a young man consumed by poverty, isolation, and intergenerational trauma following his impoverished father’s tragic suicide. Haunted by flashbacks of his father’s grueling life as a market porter, the departure of his brother Rudra, and a lingering, yellowed letter left behind, Kushal’s psychological state collapses. Alone in the dark with the memories of those who vanished, he reaches a breaking point of tragic laughter and tears. By dawn, Kushal silently vanishes into the wilderness, leaving the door wide open.
