At the heart of 'Shunyta' is a terrible development that has left two very loving and devoted parents distraught. It is a regular day when they realize that their child is in deep discomfort and would not stop crying. An exploration of the reasons behind it leads them to a terrible discovery regarding his health.

It turns out that a heart transplant is crucial for the survival of the child. The development is accompanied with its many financial and logistical demands, leaving the worried parents overcoming all kinds of obstacles to procure a huge amount of money for the treatment, as well as an organ donor who can provide them with the heart.

The exploration of all of these elements leads to an emotional story, marked by a pertinent message at the end of it all. There is also something to be said about tragedy and the manner in which it pushes forth the plot throughout. It makes important points, along with leaving the viewer with a devoted attempt at engaging with the nature of pain, the instinctive desire to protect a loved one and the many ways the ensuing battles can change someone.
