Roshaan Khattak Pakistan
Disintegration, Epiphany, Liberation
A safari into self discovery pinnacles when one lets go of the sacredly held.
The film is about a man on the verge of mental disintegration and break down. It explores his varied and often conflicting influences, stimuli and impressions ranging from historical images to recent events, from religious & dogmatic symbols to political and social symbols, from the sources of his information to globalisation trends. He finally resolves his inner struggle for a unified Weltanschauung (world view) by giving up his once integral part of identity- chauvinism and parochialism. Only then is he able to open his mind's door and go beyond for a final awakening and liberation
