    Alina had to persuade her dream, she started with the first step. She knew it wasn't easy for her to land the leading part no matter how good of a dancer she is. You can see her moves were better than the leading dancer's, still, she ended up as a background dancer. Meanwhile, the goat always symbolizes sacrifice, but the goat here was fully fine in the end: leading towards a flash of light. Maybe Alina's dream is yet to be manifested, not sacrificed.

      @@amalahmad3374 So Alina is a transgender woman, and she's auditioning to be the lead female in the performance (it's an erotic dance called a mujra). But the director guy tells her that the audience doesn't want to see a transgender person, they want to see a woman as the lead and boys in the back, so he rejects her. Eventually, she talks to him again and he allows her to perform with the boys in the back.
      So she's sad because she wasn't given the role of the main female in the middle as society doesn't see her as female.

    For ages, we have been hearing about great films that win big time at foreign festivals. But we never ever get to see those films. So I actually gave up following on such. GHOST FILMS and never read any articles either. Because it only used to build frustration. This film is also one of them. But today it finally sees the light of the day. I remember how the Media and newspapers were raving about it last year.
    For a students work. The film is good. there is a certain raw attempt to it and its interesting. The Central actor was praised for play the part so well. But I guess she was a disappointment. the boy was rather more Natural. We shall have more of such ... films coming to popular platforms.
