Azmeri Haque
In Dhaka, Zaineen is getting ready for her wedding. Makeup, clothes, jewelry: every detail of her appearance is scrutinized, commented on, and corrected. Under the weight of her family’s expectations, anxiety sets in, and her nights grow filled with nightmares. Normal? Perhaps, but something inside her resists: an indomitable instinct, a dark force demanding to be unleashed.
