Short film · Dialogue-free

Adnyat

Dialogue-free · 17 min · A Davakhar Films production

Adnyat follows an eight-year-old boy who doesn’t know his religion and explores prayers and rituals like a curious traveler. As he learns hymns, tries on customs, and meets both warmth and suspicion, he discovers that faith — stripped of pride and prejudice — becomes a simple way to belong, love, and show compassion.
