What happens
Shuddhi is a documentary hybrid film which explores the emotional aspects of Hansen's Disease (leprosy) by portraying genuine stories and conversations with patients in India. It offers a contemplative depiction of a family bond between grandfather (Baba) and grandson (Dittu) with cultural reverence, set against India's rivers (Ganges, Beas, and Yamuna), scenic landscapes, and one of the country's remaining hospitals dedicated to the disease.
