Sarmad Sultan Khoosat’s film seeks to explore the nuances of how civil society responds when fragments of humanity defy their preordained expectations. If Khawaja sings in praise of the Prophet, how can he possibly delight in a song so steeped in sensuality? Khoosat’s film interrogates a society entrenched in dogma and rigidity, one that swiftly stifles any glimmers of happiness or pleasure that stray beyond its strict prescriptions.
Note: This film contains depictions of violence against LGBTQ+ characters.
