Muskan Khan

In a city far from home, Hussain, a quiet university student from Chitral, struggles to fit into an environment where he feels disconnected from his language, culture, and identity. As he hides parts of himself to be accepted, a chance connection with Saba slowly pushes him toward self-acceptance. Through music, memory, and the comfort of his roots, Hussain begins a journey of rediscovering the voice he was once afraid to share.

Two sisters grieve their parents in opposite ways — Lamia drowns herself in work and responsibility, Maria surrounds herself with community. Though they share an apartment, they are completely alone in it. When exhaustion costs Lamia her job, she says nothing. She job-hunts in silence until one night everything spills out — the firing, the rejections, and the real reason she pulled away from the community. The confrontation cracks them both open. Maria stays. She offers her savings, her presence, and one condition — that Lamia comes to the community gathering just once. She goes. Things shift. Not completely. But enough.
