Fading Shadows / ڈھلتے ساۓ
“An unassuming man suffering from early onset Parkinson's, waits for governmental approval to leave a decaying earth and be reunited with his family only for a strange ethereal creature to threaten his existence”.
This Narrative Short Film is an examination of the particular concept of losing loved ones, either through distance or death and the subsequent loneliness experienced by individuals in the aftermath. Not meant to be an expansion on the 5 stages of grief or how the concept of loss is treated in Pakistani culture or Islam rather simply it is an attempt to pose questions to the viewing audience about their own personal convictions and what it means to love and lose someone.
