Synopsis

Sadiq loves stitching colourful patterns on rugs. However, his  ammi  reminds him that boys in his community don’t stitch. They tend to the livestock. But Sadiq is determined to pursue his passion. This winsome tale that defies gender norms and addresses Kashmir’s fading craft of shepherding is beautifully brought to light by Mamta Nainy, and illustrated through watercolour vistas by renowned artist Niloufer Wadia.
