While there is accepted (and necessary) public tolerance and respect for different faiths, understanding differences within the confines of family seems too close for comfort. Perhaps possible. But we would like a difference between inter-faith and no-faith. We would like a space between personal faith and that of the people around us.
In facing hybrid identities, the breaking of family and its rebuilding, Nadirah will find out just how adaptive love and faith is. See Nadirah’s world and discover what prevails as Nadirah negotiates between love and difference; absolutes and pluralities.
Nadirah is a tribute to the late director Yasmin Ahmad for her spirit of bringing people of different races and religions together through her works.
