Not to be confused with the 1923 film of the same name.
Tropes used in Children of Dust include:
- Magic Realism: Only in South Asia/the so-called “Muslim World” and later leading back into it, thus very much portraying the region as “the other”.
- Squick: Molestation by angels.
- Weirdness Censor: Inverted: To avoid having to come to terms with the harsh reality of his molestation, Abir “rationalizes” the event by considering it a supernatural occurrence, a visit from angels.
