<p>The film follows the journey of three women who search for truth, courage, and freedom in a world that often silences them. Like the Tesu flower that blooms in dry forests, they rise with warmth, humour, and quiet strength. Through singing, dancing, and dreaming, they challenge power and reclaim their voices. Inspired by the spirit of Kabir and stories of defiance, the film reflects on memory, forgetting, and becoming. As they reconnect with their lost colours, they become Tesu. They become forest. They become flame.</p>

Flame of the Forest

<p>Amidst her fight for social change, Gulnaz also grapples with her own struggle for freedom and autonomy. This is the story of a young Muslim woman daring to dream differently in a patriarchal society determined to silence her.</p>
