DEATH IS MY BIRTHRIGHT
Storyline
An octogenarian couple, Shankar & Ila Bagchi, lives a life of isolation confined in one room of a big, empty and time-worn house in a city. Apprehensive of their future and unwilling to suffer a deteriorated life, they write to the President of India, pleading guilty of what they believe to be a crime they have committed and asking for mercy. While awaiting the consequences, they try out desperate measures to fulfil their long-cherished wish. Inspired from a true story, this film explores the life of the couple, through contemplative aesthetics, who exhausted by their present, pursue a shared belief that challenges the status quo.
