Narrative Fiction · Coming-of-Age · Mountain Realism

Set in the remote hills of Uttarakhand, Sunpat is a tender coming-of-age story about childhood curiosity, silent love, and the quiet erosion of mountain life.

Twelve-year-old Anuj, with his friend Bhartu, embarks on a journey to discover whether the girl he secretly likes feels the same. But what begins as innocent mischief gradually reveals deeper layers of abandonment, migration, and longing in the Himalayan villages.

Filmed entirely in the Beirokhal block of Uttarakhand, the story captures the subtle heartbreak of a place caught between a fading past and an uncertain future.
