Produced by Nighat Akbar Shah and directed by Shoaib Sultan, the 30-minute ‘Darya Ke Iss Paar’ revolves round a young woman, Gul Zareen, who develops psychosomatic problems in her teenage due to the bad behaviour of the people close to her. The issues become complex after marriage.
Her parents, husband, relatives and friends around her failed to understand her complexities, so her condition deteriorates to such an abyss of frustration that she jumps into the river to end life seemingly to get rid of her agony.
Writers of the story Mir Hamza, Syed Tayyib Raza and Shoaib Sultan have tried to sensitise and awaken the society to the situation and realize the issues confronted by the distressed women, who resort to the extreme step of killing themselves.
