Yasmeen’s Element

Pakistan, USA 2024 Fiction cor 74

Yasmeen is a young Pakistani schoolgirl who is eager to learn. Inside the school, her hopes and ambitions expand, but outside, the opportunities seem to be shrinking. On this particular day, these two worlds collide. Her professor gets pulled out of the classroom by an unknown military and briefly returns to give them their homework: each student must prepare a presentation on one of the chemical elements from the periodic table. Once arriving home, Yasmeen realizes she’s lost her element. A day full of adventures and obstacles unfold as she urgently tries to track down her professor’s house. As she weaves through the neighboring towns and villages, she is helped and sometimes hindered by those she encounters.

Presented at South by Southwest (SXSW).
