In Kabul, Afghanistan, under the Taliban regime, Parvana, an eleven-year-old girl, is forced to disguise herself as a boy so that her family can survive after her father's arrest. Due to the strict limitations imposed on women, Parvana takes on the responsibility of becoming the breadwinner for her family, facing numerous challenges and dangers in a war-torn country. This touching story recounts her courage and determination in a context of oppression and adversity.
