Synopsis

Summer 2001, Kabul in ruins is occupied by the Taliban. Atiq and Mussarat have been married for many years and are hardly ever talking to each other. Mohsen and Zunaira are young and deeply in love. A foolish act of Mohsen will tip the fate of his couple into tragedy. Mussarat, by her sacrifice, will allow the man she loves to regain her capacity to love.
