He invited the Pakistani people on his Instagram account to watch the acclaimed short film because it is a cinematic haiku which leaves you breathless with its insight.

The 2019 film is about an elderly couple making their way through traffic and reciting to each other a poem by the great Persian poet Hafez. Meanwhile, the old man notices a young girl who is sad in the back seat of the car of her parents, who are too busy arguing. He intervenes and gives his wife’s flowers to the young couple to stop them from arguing. We only realize how important those flowers were to the old man when he drives off.
