CGiii Comment
A young security man, Karun from south of India, is posted in Gurez, a remote village in Kashmir, North of India. One day a young Kashmiri man, Faheem, with a disarming smile appears at the check post. This is the beginning of a romance between Karun and Faheem. A romance that is doomed right from the beginning. One man who cannot be open about his identity because of homosexuality being considered a taboo in the context of religion and the man he loves cannot be open about his identity in his profession. Shot in the border area of Indian and Pakistan this is the first Kashmiri language LGBTQI+ themed film.
