The story of three generations of Hazara women from one family in Afghanistan. Director Najiba Noori accompanies her mother Hawa and her niece Zahra as they try to emancipate themselves from patriarchal traditions. Forced into marriage as a child, Hawa can only learn to read and write at the age of 52. Hawa finally rescues her granddaughter Zahra from her abusive father and brings her to the capital. There they learn together and make plans for the future. But the Taliban takeover in August 2021 turns the lives of the three women upside down: Zahra has to return to the village she fled from and Najiba is forced to leave the country. From afar, she supports Hawa in the fight for her dreams.
