Karuppasamy, a watchman, lives with his sister, Menmozhi, and her family in Tamil Nadu. Early one morning, Karuppasamy is involved in a hit-and-run accident and breaks his hip. 8 days later, he is dead. How did Karuppasamy die?
Delicately unfolding as an emotional family drama, Baaram spotlights the often-hushed, ancient ritual of senicide or “Thalaikoothal,” which is still practiced in Tamil Nadu. Filmmaker Priya Krishnaswamy deftly employs a docu-drama approach to create a compelling and though-provoking story.
