In this hybrid documentary, a female director and climate activist travels across Pakistan after a devastating climate disaster, using the game of consequences to collect tales of hope, resilience, and survival from those impacted by the crisis. The film covers three chapters: starting from the north, where melting glaciers cause havoc, followed by floods and droughts in other regions. The director employs a multi-layered narrative approach, inspired by the surrealist concept of Cadavre Exquis, to capture the collective memory and hopes of rural Pakistanis affected by climate change.
She travels through Pakistan inviting locals to contribute to the story by adding in their own words and in their own way before passing it on to the next person. As part of the game, the director actively connecting the various stories together to create a strong central narrative for the film. Through real and re-enacted stories, the film portrays Pakistan drowning in the devastating climate crisis, serving as a call to action in a critical moment for our planet.
