Zak is a young British-Pakistani man who was recently viciously attacked by a group of his classmates. Traumatized by the violence and already reeling from the instability at home, Zak feels utterly alone. Swimming at a local pool, Zak ponders the unthinkable. But a friendly, sympathetic lifeguard — the only one who notices Zak’s wounds — comes to his rescue in more ways than one. Directed and written by Abdullah Khan, this empathetic short drama captures the desolation and hopelessness of a young man who has been relentlessly persecuted by his peers. With its beautiful, lyrical imagery that oscillates between the thoughtfully naturalistic to the more abstract and poetic, the film portrays an inner landscape full of pain and isolation — so much so that it drives Zak to the brink. Opening with an impressionistic but brutal rendering of the attack, the storytelling focuses on how Zak is haunted by trauma, depression and fear afterward. Keeping the tone from veering into outright melodrama, the dialogue is pared down and the details are often subtle, but certain details are laid out precisely: Zak’s social isolation, a parent so mired in depression that she doesn’t notice her son’s injuries and a general atmosphere of emotional poverty. With such crippling loneliness and haunting pain, Zak succumbs to feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, a terrible combination that causes him to entertain thoughts of self-destruction. Actor Jaysol Doy plays Zak with admirable restraint, foregoing hammy emoting in favor of a more subtle yet precise descent. We can see the life drain out of him, slowly but surely, and when he goes to a local pool to take action, we are dismayed but not surprised. But at Zak’s lowest point, hope comes in the form of a lifeguard, the first person to really notice and acknowledge Zak’s injuries and offer a sympathetic ear. Played by acclaimed actor George Mackay, it’s a small but crucial part — one that also demonstrates that help and kindness can come from anywhere and anyone, and that sometimes the first spark of hope comes when we don’t look away from pain, but look at it clearly, steadily and without judgment. Focusing on the psychological and poetic, FIND THE LIGHT ends with a series of scenes and images that are almost symbolic or allegorical in their potency. There is no life-changing conversation, no miraculous lifting of burden. Instead, the dynamic change in both Zak and the story comes from within, from a renewed sense of meaning and hope. He realizes he is not the only one suffering from discrimination or persecution for being who he is. But the beginning of hope comes from truly seeing what’s going on, acknowledging it instead of looking the other way or keeping silent and then extending a hand. Sometimes it takes just that one hand to make enough of a difference.
