The story of three women after the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan. Layla, Faruz and Farida, are a young bride, a former policewoman and a former teacher overwhelmed by the regime's new rules and plunged into unprecedented violence since the West turned its back on Afghan women. For 20 years they had rolled up their sleeves to build a civilized society, now killed, evacuated or hidden away. The three trudge to survive one day after another immersed in the despair of a gender that extremists are trying to erase. They have realized that there are only two alternatives: succumb or fight back.
