Description Firaaq is an Urdu word that means both separation and quest. Set in the aftermath of a communal carnage, Firaaq, is a work of fiction based on a thousand stories. It is an ensemble film that takes place over a 24 hour period, a month after the worst of the violence is over. The film traces the emotional journeys of 'ordinary people' - some who were victims, some perpetrators and some who watched silently. Firaaq explores their relationships as they experience many fierce and delicate emotions of fear and prejudice, guilt and revenge, trust and betrayal and a loss of innocence that wounds the soul forever. Violence truly spares nobody. Yet in the midst of all this madness, some still sing hopeful songs for better times.
