Saayad is the story of two generations living together, but
experiencing the world in very different ways. Whereas the influence
of a sincere, hardworking friend transforms the lives of a group of
friends for the better, the arrogance of, and lack of guidance for the
newer generation sets another group of friends on a track of drugs,
death and destruction. The generational clash reveals how moral
authority has become corrupted in Nepali society, and how the
alienation of the younger generation is pushing them to anarchy.
Acclaimed writer-director Suraj Subba 'Nalbo' has crafted a powerful
coming-of-age moral tale, touching upon the dreams and heartbreaks of
the young, and the improbable responsibilities of the more mature
generations. Saayad is a rare gem in Nepali cinema.
