Hamid

-Are you okay? -It's nothing. I am fine.

Clashing with the waves is inevitable for those who depend on the river.

What color have you planned the boat to be?

The usual.

Red.

It suits the Jhelum River.

Go home.

When will Father come home?

Come here.

Name?

Rehmat Ali.

What's that?

My tools, sir. I build boats.

Open it.

What's that?

Hand it over.

I write poetry as well.

Read it.

-What? -Go ahead, read it!

"A silent haze Engulfs my lonely night

Keeps me awake, Tossing and turning

I struggle, I fight, I try to write

No end to this torment, I cry into the night"

What's troubling you?

Are you talking about starting a riot?

Where are you going to start it?

Sir, it’s my heart that is troubled.

Feeling troubled, are you?

Sir, what are you doing? Sir...

Mother, the match is about to start.

Your father’s on his way.

People live in hiding in Mubarak Mandi. Why?

What's nine times six?

72.

54!

Focus on your studies.

Don't waste your time on such nonsense.

It's not nonsense. Father said so.

Greetings, Father!

-Did you get the cell for me? -Did you get the calendar?

Father, I want a cell.

-I... -Father, my cell...

I forgot.

Are you okay?

Yes.

But my cell...

You don't even remember your multiplication tables...

and your exams are right around the corner.

Come on, let your father hear them.

Nine ones are nine. Nine twos are eighteen.

Nine threes are twenty-seven.

-Nine fours are-- -Enough.

My cell!

I bought one. But I forgot it at the workshop.

The match is on... I mean, it is about to start.

I know.

So, my cell?

I'll get it. Okay?

-Okay. -Go on now.

Hold on.

It's late.

If I don't go...

the ghost of Mubarak Mandi will haunt us all night.

This looks good on you.

Get the cell from Basheer.

Don't go to the workshop at this hour.

Okay. I'll be back.

You're such a brat.

What is nine times five?

Mother.

Mother!

Mother!

I am working.

At school...

pay attention on learning the language.

Your language reflects your character.

-I'll be back. -The bus will leave!

Give me five minutes.

The bus left?

Why did you go there?

Son, those who go to Allah...

have to be buried.

Why?

So that...

Yes?

So that we can forget them.

Shall we...

take another route to school today?

Shall we? Sure?

Sure, right? Let's go.

What does "Hamid" mean?

-The meaning of "Hamid"? -Yes.

They say, Hamid is the one who praises Allah.

But I have never done that and I don't even know Him.

That's not true in His case.

Allah knows everybody.

He cares about everybody.

Then He might know everybody's name as well, right?

Yes.

Who is He? Who am I? Tell me, who are you?

I’ll cook a duck in one big pot

Veggies cut in tasty bites

Then pour water on their florets

A drop at a time

A drop at a time

A drop at a time

Dad, get the butter for the hookah

Get the butter for the hookah

See the crow dance

See the crow dance

Take a rod! Hit the tail!

Then my father wins the treasure

Who is He? And who are we?

He stays within us, quietly

It is He who bonds us

He teaches us to love

And shelters us

And shelters us

A drop at a time

A drop at a time

Who is that in the photo? Show it to me.

-I'll tell on you. -What's going on?

Sir, Hamid is hiding a photo.

Let me see it.

It's my father. He is missing.

He's not missing. He has gone to Allah.

Bilaal! May Allah bless his soul.

Hamid, my boy, keep this photo at home.

How do you know my father is with Allah?

My granny says that Allah takes those He loves.

But he should have told us before leaving, right?

Only your father or Allah can answer this question.

FREEDOM

Abhay!

Look at our young revolutionary pissing his pants.

You're crazy! He's just a kid. Let him go.

If anything happens to him, we'll be in trouble.

I don't give a damn.

Abhay! Listen to me, man.

Stop it! Abhay!

Listen to me!

Abhay, don't repeat the earlier mistake.

Don't remind me of it every time.

Wait outside.

This file...

Please wait outside.

Listen! The commissioner has to go for a meeting.

So, he cannot see any of you.

How can he not? We have been waiting here for so long.

How is it going to help?

Let me tell you what he will say.

"We're doing our best to find everyone.

And if we find someone, we'll let you know."

That's what you hear every day, right?

Done? Now leave.

This is your file. That’s mine.

What difference does it make?

The termites will eat them anyway.

Please honk.

Run him over.

No.

-What are you waiting for? -Are you crazy?

-Let me-- -Have you lost it?

Get up!

Let me do it!

What are you doing? Let go!

You guys want freedom?

I'll show you what freedom is!

Let go!

-We want... -Freedom!

Freedom!

-We want... -Freedom!

-We have the right to... -Freedom!

-We want... -Freedom!

-We have the right to... -Freedom!

-We want... -Freedom!

-We want... -Freedom!

-We want... -Freedom!

Freedom!

-We have the right to... -Freedom!

What does "7-8-6" mean, Mother?

It is Allah's number.

He has a number as well?

Mother...

why did Father go to Allah?

Who said so?

Bilaal.

We have to go to an engagement ceremony.

Get ready.

But I don't have any new clothes. And my shoes...

Hurry up.

Yes?

I'll be right there.

Why are you here?

I am here for my son.

We are here for our son as well.

We've been here since morning.

I'll be right back.

I am really worried.

It's getting dark.
