A shy, sensitive young man named Shutu (Vikrant Massey) travels with his extended family to the small town of McCluskieganj (colloquially “the Gunj”) in Jharkhand during the winter holidays. Over the course of the trip, casual cruelties, passive aggression, and emotional neglect push Shutu toward a tragic breaking point. The film ends with a death – ambiguous as accident or suicide – hence the title.
