Tungrus
Summary of the Film:
Tungrus is a short documentary that observes a week in the peculiar lives of a middle-class household in Mumbai, which turns topsy-turvy when the eccentric patriarch brings home a baby chick for his cats to play with.
What follows is an alternatingly absurd, nerve-jangling and heart-warming account of the latest addition, from the eyes of each member of the family. The once adorable chick has survived his early days and grown into a willful, almost tyrannical bird – forever taking up too much of their space and generally making life in the apartment unbearable. The film follows the thoughts of each person to their inevitable conclusion – the rooster’s got to go. And as his fate hangs in the balance, the family debates the question that lingers in the air: should he be given the gift of life, or served for dinner?
