North American Premiere
During the Afghan civil war, good friends Suraya and Sima struggle to find common ground. Suraya is rich and a communist, and Sima is from a more traditional background. Fighting for their country, and their civil rights in a world where women’s lives are undervalued, this friendship is put to the test. Director Roya Sadat, the first woman director in post-Taliban Afghanistan, has crafted a moving and exciting drama that plays much like a thriller.
