Suffering Is Optional
A 20-year-old drama student is cast in the lead role of an India-set adaptation of “Hamlet.” Pushed by an exacting director to pour her grief into the performance, she is simultaneously visited by the ghost of her deceased partner, who carries an impending climate prophecy. Torn between artistic ambition and institutional abuse, she must find a way to contend with both.
