A detained woman in 1971 and a struggling woman in 2024; both wants to breathe. Fatima is a film within a film.

Fatima, a 26-year-old from the country girl, moved to the city and has been pursuing an acting profession in an effort to let go of her upsetting past. But fate had different intentions for her. It was hard to ignore her past when she was cast in 1971 as the woman of war Suborna. Fatima started to realize that her personal problems had given her a unique perspective on Suborna's situation, especially because it seemed like the entire world was against her.—Dhrubo, Hasan
