The short film endeavours to capture the plight of a Kashmiri Pandit family on the night of 19th January 1990, one that would forever be infamous for the exodus of the community from their homes in the Valley. The narrative wants to be an exploration of the visceral fear thousands would have experienced on the endless night two decades ago.
The film further upholds a message of religious unity and the kindness of the human spirit, a much needed reminder in contemporary times. It uses the friendship between a Kashmiri Muslim and Pandit respectively to drive its message home. It also makes a point to call the violent attackers 'militants', not resting the blame with any particular community. In a country that continues to see division on the basis of religious lines on a daily basis, can this film be the reminder of peace and acceptance?
