As the Taliban´s rise to power sparks ethnic and tribal conflict in Afghanistan, a family of illegal Hazara refugees flee to Iran, where they meet Ahmad, an exiled teacher living in a poor village near the Afghan border. When Ahmad confronts the prejudice and dogmatism that dictates their lives, a forbidden love forces him to question his own lack of love and bravery. Will his actions save the couple or risk dire consequences for everyone involved? A gripping tale of courage, prejudice, and the complexities of the human heart.
