About the show
Barzakh follows the journey of a 76-year-old reclusive man who invites his estranged children and grandchildren to his remote valley resort to celebrate his wedding with the ghost of his first true love. The series unfolds against the backdrop of the picturesque Hunza Valley. Furthermore, Barzakh explores themes of mental health, postpartum depression, generational trauma and gender inclusivity.
The six-episode series boasts of an ensemble cast, including Salman Shahid, M., Eman Suleman, Khushhal Khan, Faiza Gillani, Anika Zulfikar, Franco Giusti among others. It is produced by Shailja Kejriwal and Waqas Hassan, with cinematography by Mo Azmi.
“It's a story about love and faith. About humans desperately looking for connections and meaning. Fragile, broken souls, looking to hold on to whatever they can, to make sense of this big, bad, beautiful thing called life. Thanks to Shailja and Zindagi, Barzakh has truly been a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. And whilst I hope the six hours of this series thoroughly mesmerise and entertain audiences; more than that, I hope that the ‘Land of Nowhere’ changes a small part of their heart, in an unexpected way. The way it changed so many of us, involved in its making,” director Asim Abbasi said in a statement. It will go live on July 19 on Zindagi’s YouTube and ZEE5.
