Plot
[edit]The film focuses on Saumil, a young boy diagnosed with a medical condition for which surgical intervention is advised. Saumil, however, declines the recommended surgery. As the narrative progresses, Saumil's brother Kashul becomes increasingly convinced that Saumil is developing a tail. The film explores the family's dynamics and struggles as they deal with this complex situation, with Saumil's mother, father, and grandfather all playing significant roles.
Addressing themes of family, health, and the complexities of making difficult medical decisions, the film, while fictional, reflects real-life issues and challenges. The directors aim for a storytelling approach that is both emotionally engaging and thought-provoking, striving to maintain a neutral and objective tone throughout.
