Breathing Am I (Saas Fere Jasto Lagcha)

This non-linear fiction follows four dynamic characters: a fashion model who is in a coma in ICU; an abused young middle-class housewife who is plotting revenge; an imprisoned political activist during an autocratic monarchical regime; and a young seamstress who longs for her lover. The film pushes the boundaries of cinematic tropes with minimal dialogue, inconceivable attention to sound, and immaculate cinematography. Set within the confining spaces of Kathmandu, the film is as much about breathing as it is about suffocation.
