On the day of a decisive court hearing and an important performance, a wedding musician finds his private life exposed to public scrutiny. Accused of exploiting his marriage, he moves between the courtroom, the city streets, and the stage, dealing with the weight of judgment, loyalty, and unspoken guilt. Forced to make an irreversible decision, the man is caught between devotion, dignity, and loss. Presented at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

The short-film “Whispers of a Burning Scent” is part of the Displacement Film Fund and will be screened with “Super Afghan Gym”, “Allies in Exile”, “Sense of Water” and “Rotation”.
