Short film Sikka by Ahmed Sarym beautifully portrays two women, who apparently live different lives but, connect as women (the problems they face are the same. This societal issue is often highlighted but always in a subtle murmur. Women, the biggest contributor in our society always end up unfulfilled.
Rebels who resist are shutdown and the ones who comply look happier on the outside but both have the same story on the inside. Ironic, but this is the truth of our society.
Saba Qamar’s voice (from the script) highlights a woman’s strength , which is underestimated and misunderstood. Women allow this society to put them in such a situation by accepting what is around them. As she narrates, all these tales are written because we(women) accepted the circumstances and did not stand up for changing whats around us. These problems are caused by women themselves. If they wish, they are strong enough to take charge of their lives.
The film encourages women to unite and connect with each other. and focus on putting yourself first.
