“Moments before death”
Rooftop is a 1-minute experimental short film that captures the final summer night of a young boy as he confronts the silence before his suicide. Set entirely on a rooftop, the film explores themes of isolation, emotional stillness, and the quiet unraveling of the human spirit. Through minimal dialogue and expressive visuals, Rooftop offers a poignant meditation on fleeting time and internal struggle. Starring Kamran Ahmad and directed by Hosh-e-Ruba (Kamran Ahmad) and Khwaabgari (Khizer Zaman), with story by Khwaabgari, the film is set to Max Richter’s haunting composition On the Nature of Daylight.
