Synopsis : A local photo studio in Pakistan serves as a vibrant cultural hub where personal dreams and community connections are brought to life through photography. As customers enter with their unique fantasies and desires, each photograph emerges as a powerful representation of their aspirations, reflecting the intricate interplay between identity and longing. The filmmaker, a displaced native, partners with Sakhi, a photographer yearning for a life abroad, to explore the aesthetics and economics of image-making shaped by socio-political influences and social class.

This screening is organized as part of the opening night of the En ville !
An overview of the year's Belgian and international cinéma du réel, the festival is a composite event that tells the story of our territories, their imaginary worlds, and the people who live in them and bring them to life.
