What’s in the trailer?

The series follows the poignant journey of a 76-year-old reclusive man who invites his estranged children and grandchildren to his remote valley resort to celebrate an extraordinary and unconventional event – his wedding to the ghost of his first true love. “This emotionally profound tale will make viewers ponder the mysteries of life, what happens after death and the deep feeling of love that binds us together,” the official synopsis states.

The trailer shows Fawad driving up the hills to a place mysteriously called the “Land of Nowhere.” Fawad then encounters Sanam at the property and asks her, “So you still run the circus here?” as if he knows her from before. She replies, “Who else?” The rest of the trailer is full of hints of supernatural occurrences as the wedding draws closer.

When a child asks Fawad why no one stops his grandfather from marrying a ghost, Fawad says it is out of “fear.” While Fawad feels his father is making the wrong decision in believing he would marry a ghost, Sanam attributes it to the power of love and convinces Fawad to be happy for his father.
