Parzainia Is inspired by a true story.
Parzania is the breathtaking untold story of one family and a community's
loss during an act of communal violence that stunned the world and changed a
country forever.
Cyrus and his family are Parsi, followers of a rarely practiced religion that is
both small in number and neutral to religious politics. They are a middle-class
family and live happily in a housing development, which is mostly Muslim. Cyrus
has a beautiful wife named Shernaz. Strong and practical at times, it is only
her inner strength that keeps the family going. Parzan is their imaginative
10-year old boy and Dilshad is his younger sister.
Parzania is the imaginary perfect world created by Parzan, where the buildings
are made of chocolate, the mountains of ice cream and all you do is play cricket
throughout the day. It is a world that only he and his seven year old little
sister Dilshad can truly understand.
One morning, the beauty and peace in India is stirred beyond measure, as a fire
erupts in a train killing 58 Hindus.
Within 24 hours, 100,000 Hindu citizens storm into Ahmedabad. While Cyrus fights
for his own sanity and searches for his child, Alan battles to uncover the truth
behind the riots and any possible meaning to the insanity he has witnessed.
People start to question the explanations they are given and a Human Rights
Commission is formed. But will the truth finally be out? Does any of it matter
to a distraught family that just wants to find their little boy?
