When Parvana’s father is taken by Taliban soldiers, everything changes. Under strict laws, women and girls are forbidden from leaving home alone, leaving Parvana, her mother, and sisters trapped—and with no way to get food, their survival is at risk.
To support her family, Parvana must take a bold step: disguise herself as a boy and venture out into a world filled with danger. As she navigates a city under harsh rule, she comes face to face with violence, landmines, and a people struggling to endure. Amid the hardship, however, flickers of hope remain.
