Description

How far would you go for the one you love?

Qasim has everything planned out: a bright future, the love of a girl who shares his dreams, and a loving family. But all that changes in a matter of seconds.

On a Thursday evening, two suicide bombers blow themselves up in the middle of a crowded religious shrine in Lahore’s famous Anarkali market. Qasim and Asma, two people from opposite ends of society, are wrenched apart in the cataclysmic upheaval caused by the explosion.

Spanning years and stretching from the busy streets of Lahore to the rugged and desolate mountains of Swat, each must chart a way through the wreckage and find their way back to each other. This is a story of finding one’s identity, of holding onto love, and knowing when to let go.
