Baba, a former resident of a Leprosy Ashram, shares his life insights  with his grandson on the banks of the Ganges. Meanwhile, Dhan Ji  prepares for a ritual cleansing ceremony that Baba wishes for himself. 

SHUDDHI reveals the reality of Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) and it's  enduring stigma, creating a meditative portrait of familial tenderness  and cultural respect against the backdrop of India's rivers, landscapes,  and a remaining hospital for the disease.  SHUDDHI, a poetic blend of  documentary and auteur cinema, interweaves themes of humanness, fear,  love, judgement, and the never-ending cycle of water.
