Harsukh
And that is the Divine. Simple.
A musician, a theater producer and director, a traditional dance teacher and a museum manager, show how Pakistani youth is seeking social openness through art, education and the spirituality that surround their society.

Harsukh means 'Divine (inner) peace' but it is also the name of an arts school in Lahore, Pakistan, built by the dancer Bina Jawwad and her family of artists.
This documentary, shot camera on shoulder by a single person, follow a group of teachers and artists from this city to understand how the performing arts industry is reviving after theater, music and cinema disappeared during the Islamization of the country and the influence of the war in the neighboring country: Afghanistan.
Through Azeem, a university teacher and theater producer, we meet Syed Omar Ali, a musician whose art has cost him some rifts in his relationship with his parents; and Gillian, an American dancer who works as a choreographer for film and stage plays. Bonding with each other we arrive at the studio where Mughal-e-Funk and Jimmy Khan rehearse their new musical themes; and to the café where Zainab and Noor, two young theater directors meet with their mentor for advice on dealing with an undisciplined cast.
