Slackistan

Synopsis

A group of twentysomething friends hang out in the rich neighbourhoods of the sleepy capital city of Islamabad, Pakistan. Hasan flirts with both filmmaking dreams, as well as with secret crush Aisha. But a daily routine of driving around town with his cocky, status-obsessed buddy Sheryar could prevent Hasan from escaping the existential bubble he is trapped in.
