Moosa Lane is a personal family epic, where the director looks back at the history of her two families over the course of 15 years in Karachi and Copenhagen. A cinematic essay of belonging, human worth, life, love and death.

The director grew up in Denmark with her Pakistani father and Norwegian mother. At the age of 25, she decides to examine her roots in Pakistan through the lens of her camera. During the following 15 years, life in Moosa Lane changes drastically while the contrasts of her two worlds emphasise the missing bridges, on a global scale of inequality and human worth. Us and them.
