Bol (2011) Server 1
The film focuses on the travails of a lower middle class family inLahore which struggles with poverty, orthodoxy and the stranglehold of a gender bias which treats women as the archetypal second sex. The highpoint of the film is the conflict between the eldest daughter (Humaima Malik) and her traditional father (Manzar Sehbai) who has fathered fourteen children, merely to fulfil his desire to have a male heir. Troubles compound when the last-born happens to be a hermaphrodite and the father condemns him to a life of captivity, even as he tries to find desperate -- and shocking -- means to fend for his large family in increasingly hard times. you are watching bol (2011)
