2016 年 7 月，伊斯兰恐怖分子袭击了达卡一家高档咖啡馆，挟持顾客，造成 20 多人死亡，震惊了整个次大陆。法拉兹是一个富有、有政治背景的家庭的小儿子。当晚，他与朋友在咖啡馆见面，却发现自己陷入了战火之中。他如何应对噩梦般的局面成为故事的核心。汉萨尔-梅塔（Hansal Mehta，《阿里加尔》，2015 年伦敦电影节）在这部虚构的重述片中展现了他标志性的敏感、细腻和同理心。该片从穆斯林的视角审视宗教极端主义，尤其引人注目，因为他们看到自己的信仰因激进极端分子的行为而受到质疑和妖魔化。
In July 2016, Islamic terrorists stormed a popular café in upscale Dhaka and held its patrons hostage, killing more than 20 people and sending shockwaves across the subcontinent. Faraaz is the youngest son of a rich, politically connected family. That evening, he meets his friends at the café and finds himself caught in the crossfire. How he reacts to the nightmarish situation forms the heart of the story. Offsetting nail-biting tension with unexpected humour – often at the expense of inept law-enforcement officials – Hansal Mehta (Aligarh, LFF 2015) brings his trademark sensitivity, nuance and empathy to this fictionalised retelling. It is particularly striking for the way it looks at religious extremism from the perspective of Muslims who have seen their faith questioned and demonised because of the actions of radical extremists.
