This new reality was surreal and to make any sense of it, physical contact or in-person meeting with friends and family became crucial. Death and parting didn’t seem like a finality like it used to because funerals and weddings were both happening on Zoom. There was a sense of loss, but also confusion, because of a lack of completion. Kejriwal told Variety: ” ‘Barzakh’ is a product of COVID brain – it was a time where like everyone else, Asim and I were talking about love, life, death, losing loved ones, unable to say our goodbyes. Where it survived us – making it the ultimate human legacy,” Abbasi said. And from these fears, grew a story where love was indeed eternal. And I began to think about my fears – the end of consciousness, the end of imagination, the end of love. “In the aftermath of my father’s passing, and witnessing my son grow into a young boy, I found myself consumed with nostalgia, and memories of times gone and loves lost. “Barzakh” is a deeply personal show for Abbasi. The series was shot on location in Karachi and the picturesque Hunza valley. “What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to have a soul, and does it survive us? How does one find hope and joy in a perpetual state of limbo? These are the central concerns of ‘Barzakh,’ ” Abbasi told Variety. The narrative is framed within a fantastical world of supernatural beings and otherworldly events that reveal the chasms between life, death and rebirth. It explores intergenerational trauma between fathers and sons. The series is a family drama centered around an elderly man’s quest for love.
