(1999)
The film, by Canadian director Bawa, takes viewers on a journey through the gates of a Sufi shrine into the world of "temple" dancing. It explores the passion of the dance within a number of contemporary Pakistani contexts and the personalities that pursue it: a classically trained female dancer forbidden to perform her craft on stage, a ridiculed male Kathak dancer, a popular film actress and a fundamentalist mullah.
