Focuses on courageous young women in Afghanistan who are involved in theatre arts. They regularly face harsh criticism, social disapproval and even receive threats against themselves and their families, forcing many young actresses to flee the country. Those who do not, risk being killed for their art, as recently happened to a young actress in Kabul. Anneta Papathanassiou, an actress and director from Greece, visits Kabul to teach ancient Greek theatre, while recording the lives of Afghan artists who try to combine art and culture under very difficult circumstances in this troubled country.
