The Curfew
Orizzonti
Synopsis
When Ayaan becomes a temporary caregiver for his grandmother, they find themselves adrift in the gulf of a language barrier. In the silence, spectres of a colonial past shift how he sees strangers and himself.
Director’s Statement
I grew up in a fraught post- colonial society in Pakistan, studying dusty English novels and whitewashed history books within the slowly deteriorating walls of British colonial architecture.
The Curfew explores how colonial legacies mutate across generations and geographies — how a distant, inherited past can quietly infiltrate the rhythms of a life built elsewhere.
