Aalam (2022)

Drama

A single man, now widowed, consumed by the daily affairs of his life, is trying to find some peace. The CAA-NRC riots have taken a toll on his entire life. The result has jilted him far beyond the fence from where coming back seems impossible. Belonging to a minority community, the trauma that he festers alongside tends to take him back to memories which now only haunts him. He is listless and trying to sell his house because it is situated in the riot-hit area and dominated by a different community. The film explores the aftermath of communal riots and the struggle of an individual to somehow survive when the world around him moves unaffected.
