About the Job

Zeenat’s college-aged son. Bright, perceptive, and emotionally attuned, Rumi has the easy affection of a son who loves his mother but is beginning to see her as a person beyond her role in the family. Home from college, he notices subtle shifts others miss and, with a simple question, prompts Zeenat to consider something she rarely allows herself to ask: is she happy? Seeking an actor with natural warmth, emotional intelligence, and an understated, lived-in quality; the mother-son relationship should feel effortless and deeply familiar.
