Experiencing Interruptions?

SHIKASTAGI

After escaping the violence that claimed her husband's life, Sadoof and her young daughter seek refuge in a rented home far from the unrest. Though physically safe, the emotional scars run deep. Sadoof, haunted by memories of the past, adamantly refuses to return to their former home. Adeem, her father-in-law, yearns to go back, feeling a strong connection to the place he spent most of his life. The tension between Sadoof and Adeem represents a clash of desires: Sadoof's wish to protect her daughter and start anew, and Adeem's need for closure and continuity. Their journey explores themes of loss, resilience, and the struggle to reconcile with a painful history while striving for a peaceful future.
