SYNOPSIS

At her 65th birthday, Karupy makes an unexpected announcement: she will be ending her own life that very night, sparking a whirlwind of emotions amongst her family. As she prepares for this final act, her party guests confront her regarding her decision.

The film is an absurd, multi-generational portrait of a troubled matriarch. The narrative conceit of KARUPY seeks to confront a culture of silence when it comes to South Asian family secrets and dynamics while blending dark humour with interpersonal tension, unresolved grief and a touch of the supernatural.
