Documentary

In “Death Hotel,” we follow the 107-year-old Gulchu Bai's final days in the holy city of Varanasi, where her family has checked her into one of the city's revered death hotels to get salvation upon death.

‍

The film is exploring the complexities of this ancient tradition and its interplay with culture, spirituality, and mortality. A unique reflection on the circle of life, where death is not mourned but rather celebrated.
