It is 2007, and Karachi is
thrumming with possibility
for childhood friends Jogi
and Billoo. They spend their
days and nights in a
euphoric haze of work,
conversation, and laughter,
unmoved by the trouble that
seems to be brewing in
parts of the city. The
General and the Judge are
at a political standoff, and
there is a marked sense of
unease in the air.
But the woes of Karachi
soon begin to encroach on
their lives, as an incident
after a party leaves the two
friends shell-shocked, and
puts them on divergent
paths. Billoo becomes
obsessed with the fight for
justice and activism, while
Jogi begins to dream of an
immediate escape from the
city. Along with Natasha - a
photographer desperate to
find meaning and utility in
her art - they navigate the
chaos of that year, as riots,
explosions, assassinations,
and torrential rains
challenge their relationship
with the city and with each
other.
Based on true events, “The
Year of Sound and Heat” is
a love letter to Karachi in
one of its most violent
years, as well as a
rumination on activism,
belonging, and the
suppressed trauma of the
people of the city, struggling
– and always failing – to call
another place Home.
