Atash [Thirst - 2004]

A family of five, their two goats and donkey live in the middle of nowhere far from their village home. They earn meager living by producing & selling charcoal, made from the surrounding trees. The father and son are the only ones who ever return to their native village. The Mother & two daughters have not left this place since the day they abandoned home, 10 years ago. One day the father decides to provide running water for the family by illegally diverting water onto their land. The three women recoil from the idea but the teenage son obeys submissively anything to be allowed to continue attending school. The water surging through the pipe parallels the surging resentment the family feels towards the father. He brought them to this place against their will and they know the reason they left their home is also the reason they can never return, but the newly free-flowing water on their land re-awakens the instinctive desire for freedom they have been repressing all these years.

Written [2008]

A wakes up in a tub, realizing one of his kidneys is gone.

In the meantime, staff working on this film also realize the fact that this script is unfinished and start searching the writer’s house for the ending. A, too, busies himself to resolve the issue even though he is an incomplete being from a story. This film is a metaphor painted with intense scenes, describing how to complete a story while a director, a writer, and even a character in the story help each other, even amongst serious tension.
