Pakistan, 1978. Lenny, a rockstar from the Christian community, is offered the chance to reinvent himself as a state-sanctioned singer. With Islamic fervor gripping the nation, he must decide if he can change along with the times.
Locarno is ... magic. It was my first time watching a film of mine in a cinema (Dia - 2018 - Open Doors Shorts). It was my first exposure to a world community of filmmakers, one that is not defined by borders, but my a shared passion for storytelling. Locarno has gone on to be one of the biggest supporters of my career, and I cannot wait to return in-person, to hear the leopard roar again!
