A school haunted by the inexplicable

In a small Tamil Nadu town where strange occurrences are part of daily life, the government girls’ secondary school has its own population of supernatural entities. Thamarai, an outsider navigating intrusive neighbours, tuition classes and a teacher’s harassment of students, discovers a notebook cataloguing the school’s paranormal phenomena. Its descriptions offer a possible clue to escape, linking the supernatural setting to her frustrations with the world around her. The premise brings magical realism into a school environment shaped by social pressures as well as the uncanny.
