Mariam (Ramesha Newal) is trying to finish medical school but things are not going well at home. Her mother (Bakhtawar Mazhar) has been suckered into signing away all of their finances and property to an Uncle (Adnan Shah) who is now evicting them and their lawyer (Naveed Kamal) doesn't think much of their chances because the law frowns on women inheriting. To top it all off, Mariam is being haunted by her dead boyfriend (Omar Javid) because she can't admit that she snuck off to the beach on a date and got into a fatal motorcycle accident.
There are a couple of ghosts in this but the real spectre is o p p r e s s i o n. It makes for a very depressing watch if you're a woman, and a very boring one if you're not. Actually, kind of boring for women too, because it's not like any of this is news. Men Being Shitty is a default setting in a lot of places.
It's not out on streaming anywhere but you can rent it if you feel so inclined.
