(2021)

In a vibrant metropolis where dreams clash with reality, “Nafsi” follows the intertwined lives of three individuals as they embark on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of identity. Amidst the backdrop of a city that never sleeps, the characters navigate their personal and cultural challenges, seeking to reclaim their lost selves.

Zara, a talented graffiti artist, struggles to break free from the suffocating expectations of her conservative family. Torn between her passion for street art and her obligation to tradition, her journey begins when she stumbles upon a hidden art community that becomes her sanctuary. As she gains confidence to express herself, Zara uncovers a connection between her art and her family’s history, pushing her to confront her past and reimagine her future.

On the other side of the spectrum is Kamal, a disillusioned corporate lawyer who feels trapped in a rat race devoid of meaning. Plagued by a sense of unfulfillment, he finds solace in a night class on philosophy led by the enigmatic and wise Professor Idris. Through thought-provoking discussions, Kamal begins to question his values and the impact of his work on the world around him, leading him to reevaluate his relationships and the notion of success.

Finally, we meet Aisha, a refugee who fled her war-torn homeland in search of a new life. As she struggles to find her place in this unfamiliar world, Aisha confronts her trauma while striving to support her younger brother. With the help of Zara and Kamal, she begins to carve out a new identity and dreams of a brighter future, discovering the strength that emerges from vulnerability and the shared experiences of those around her.
