The film is about the difficult situation in which the Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11.

The educated and modern Muslims are in a difficult situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire. They are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalists and on the other hand the Western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names.
