A narrative that begins with a scene that numbs you, yet it is not gory. It portrays the helplessness of one when whom you know well behaves the way he does.What is left unsaid makes the impact.The story then,though it does not move away from the perspective of the individual,shifts to macro issues of Terrorism.
