Riaz Masih is a 51-year-old Christian sewer worker living in Lahore, Pakistan. Despite systemic discrimination and working for a pittance, he is determined, with the support of his wife Zarina, to educate their four children. After 27 years of informal labour, Riaz finally secures a job with the city sanitation department and makes the rare decision to take out life insurance.
His children show great promise. Sahil dreams of becoming a civil servant, while Mehek earns a scholarship to Punjab College. Their younger children, Rahul and Manahil, are deaf and mute and each excels in their own way. Through his school, Rahul is exposed to a more affluent world, as many of his classmates come from influential families. Sometimes labelled a bully at school and in his neighbourhood, his emotional and moral development becomes a key thread of the story.
Riaz, whose own father only completed secondary school, dreams of seeing his children graduate from university and transform the family’s future.
The documentary follows Sahil’s gap year after disappointing exam results and explores family tensions, including Mehek running away from home and leaving school. The film exposes the entrenched caste and religious privilege that marginalises Christian Dalits in Pakistan.

Lost Souls, Swimming in a Fish Bowl is a silent documentary about the invisible territories of depression, isolation, memory, and the fragile act of continuing to live.
There are people who move through the world every day while feeling as though they exist behind glass. They work, walk, eat, sleep, smile, and disappear into crowds—yet remain suspended within an interior world that no one else can enter. The film observes these fractured states without explanation, diagnosis, or spoken testimony.
Instead, silence becomes the language of the film.
Through faces, bodies, empty rooms, urban landscapes, found footage, archival fragments, photographs, gestures, objects, and moments of stillness, Lost Souls, Swimming in a Fish Bowl enters the psychological geography of people who feel trapped inside themselves. The fish bowl becomes both metaphor and physical space: transparent enough to see the world outside, yet impossible to escape.
