The life of a young glassblower in training and his relationships over the years, as his land goes through war and strife.. This is the first Pakistani hand-drawn animated film.. This movie had been 10 years in the making and it largely pays off.The setting is a blend of desi and European culture which is evident with the character names, clothing, food and more.The art style is obviously inspired by Studio Ghibli but it is unique enough to have its own personality.The animation during the war scenes are especially breathtaking as the lighting and colors during the explosions are particularly beautiful.The voice acting is the weakest aspect (I watched it in English , but Urdu had the same issue) but I had expected it from the trailers, however it wasn't terrible.
