Explores the local Islamic community of the writer and their musings into socialised identity and the abyss that bridges religion and the fallacy of language. Shot in various suburban areas of London and the wider UK, the film combines the natural and constructed realities of a hidden self. What begins as an abstract stream of consciousness exploring the slippages between language and gender transforms into a diaristic account of the writer’s return to their childhood mosque and the reconciliation of religion and spirituality. Explored through English voice and Urdu script, the cinematographic intention lies within esoteric truth, and the liberation that comes within not knowing.
