A Hazara family from Afghanistan seeks justice after the death of their daughter at Kabul University.

synopsis

In the remote mountains of central Afghanistan, a Hazara family embarks on a journey for truth and justice after their daughter Zahra mysteriously dies at Kabul University. Told through the eyes of Zahra’s younger sister, Freshta, the film is a moving contemplation of love, loss, and perseverance in spite of increasing unrest on the eve of the Taliban takeover of the country.
In de afgelegen bergen van centraal Afghanistan begint een Hazara-familie aan een queeste voor waarheid en gerechtigheid nadat hun dochter Zahra op mysterieuze wijze overlijdt aan de universiteit van Kabul. Verteld door de ogen van Zahra's jongere zus, Freshta, is deze film een ontroerende beschouwing over liefde, verlies en doorzettingsvermogen ondanks de toenemende onrust aan de vooravond van de overname van het land door de Taliban.
