A close up shot of the protagonist trying to look out of the solitary confinement. The protagonist feels helpless as he looks out of the window of the confinement as if he searches for help and answer to the question as to what has happened.

Scene 6:

Character: the writer

This scene would show the different phases the protagonist goes through each day. At one time he seems clueless where as in the nest minute he is happy and then all of a sudden he is sad, gets furious and eventually is frustrated that he tries getting it out and in the next he tries to calm down. As he is relaxing the screen also slowly fades out and so does the background music.

Scene 7:

The last scene is a montage. With a very patriotic poem along with pictures that show the good times of Lahore. Pictures that have those positive vibes. Pictures showing love and freedom.
