This project comprises seven distinct short films, each reflecting the experience of life in Dhaka. The directors adopt a minimalist approach, focusing on conveying emotions tied to their narratives.
Nuhash Humayun’s *The Background Artist* follows a supporting actor dreaming of becoming a lead. His interactions with a tailor lead to moments of self-discovery and understanding his worth. In *Cheers* by Syed Ahmed Shawki, two young women attempt to acquire a bottle of liquor as a form of protest against a cheating boyfriend, highlighting societal taboos surrounding women’s freedom in the city.
Robiul Alam Robi’s *Maghfirat* explores urban claustrophobia amidst rapid globalization through the eyes of a driver who left his small-town farming life behind. His struggles reflect a constant sense of entrapment. Tavir Ahsan’s *Where, Nowhere* portrays a mother’s relentless efforts to free her son from jail for a minor crime, while her daughter gains confidence to stand up to her troublesome boyfriend.
Abdullah Al Noor’s *M for Money Murder*, shot in black and white, critiques modern capitalism. It tells the story of an employee falsely accused of fraud by a colleague, seeking redemption in a world that often reduces individuals to insignificance.
