Rouhi Kashfi, B FOR NAOO, 2021
B FOR NAOO is a story that revolves around post-war traumatic financial and emotional restraint on the next generation in a small village of Parachinar; the tribal area of Pakistan. This beautiful region has been subjected to sectarian rifts and militancy of banned outfits for decades. As a result of this unrest, this fire has taken many innocent lives and caused extreme tension in the region. The movie unveils these underlying layers of oppression through the lens of a little boy who represents the agony of the new generation through grief, trauma, and economical crisis. The character of the child introduces new dawn, innocence, and hope after a long journey of chaos and uncertainty. The boy has a pet goat as his only best friend and their relationship holds a significant mark on the storyline to hold the whole plot. However, the post-war crisis in the unfortunate place also studies the social, economic, and psychological side effects through their bond. The story is moulded according to the lens of this relationship between war and the child. All the little details of the village, the behaviour of the people, and the underlying issues such as misogyny, lack of education, and the struggle for survival are incorporated into the movie through their actions. The storyline contains a full package including aesthetics of the village, the lives of the inhabitants, emotional connections, and psychological subjugation while preserving the principles of realistic film making.
