"Hva vil folk si" follows the story of a young Norwegian-Pakistani woman Nisa and the horrors that she faces in the hands of her family in the name of culture. These are one among thousands of horror stories that happen to people of the developing world. Though the developed countries have matured culturally, the developing world is far behind and still treat grown up children like property.
Director Iram Haq gives life to her own ordeal and the horrors that she faced as a young woman. Ably supported by her lead actor Maria Mozhdah, who in a tremendous performance will steal our hearts and sympathies equally. Brilliant cinematography and editing are a plus factors to this low budgeted film. Supporting actors too have done a decent job. Sync sound is used to great effect to kindle our emotions.
It is a must watch movie for the developed world, just to understand how culturally different they are from the rest. I believe that Religious Parents in the developing world wouldn't give a hoot to the contents in Hva vil folk si but liberal parents can learn a thing or two. One should take care of their children till they are about 12, Only guide them and support them as teenagers, at 18 they should be able to decide for themselves. The children have come to live their lives in this world not ours.
