Set against the backdrop of the Kashmir conflict, NOOR is a story about a teenage girl from Britain trying to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance in Kashmir. 

It is a disarming, coming-of-age story about two teenagers falling in love, filled with the hope, optimism and belief in the goodness of the world that informs those years. 

NOOR highlights a bloody yet forgotten conflict that has kept the two nuclear nations of India and Pakistan in a state of conflict since their independence in 1947 one that has taken 100,000 lives, in which nearly 10,000 husbands, sons, brothers have 'disappeared'.
