Screenings

Zeba, considered cursed after her two previous fiancés died unexpectedly, is married off to Sajawal, a man with his own baggage and a large birthmark. Their uneasy union sparks an audacious and genre-blending journey, with each chapter of it striking a markedly different note. Sarmad Khoosat, the producer of Joyland, reunites with filmmaker Saim Sadiq – working here as editor and casting director – to deliver another distinctive film from Pakistan.
