Having spent parts of her childhood in Karachi, Pakistan where her family had lived before immigrating to Canada, the filmmaker decides to revisit the country as an adult, 17 years later. By superimposing voiceover and textual commentary on old home videos, as well as juxtaposing past footage with recent captures, the filmmaker comments on the deceptive nature of image-making and how it might configure one’s memory, while also reflecting on the gender norms that were expected of her during her stay in Pakistan.
