Hunza Boroshasky's short film "Gos Ditz" dares. Be your own light. The film tells the story of Fatima, a married woman with a seven-year-old daughter, Mukki. Mukki, a second-grade student, walks daily from her village to the main road and boards a school van to attend the nearby school. Fatima's husband, Nisar, works abroad, and although they have a car at home, he drives it. One night, Fatima has a terrifying dream in which a stray dog ​​attacks Mukki while returning home from school. Shaken by this dream and burdened by her long-standing fear of driving, Fatima faces pressure from her husband, who believes she must learn to drive for the well-being of the family. Her conservative, disapproving mother-in-law rejects the idea of ​​women driving. The story follows Fatima's emotional journey as she confronts her fears, overcomes hardships, and gradually learns to drive with her father's support. In a poignant final moment, she narrowly escapes a road accident, symbolizing the challenges life presents. The short film concludes with a powerful message: "Challenges begin when you become empowered... Life is about learning, facing challenges, and moving forward.
