The head of the Kabul Police crime unit, a mother of two, copes in this narrative film with impossible choices that stem from life alongside a violent man and her insistence on her independence within the patriarchal reality of Afghanistan. The cost of choosing between her loyalty to the laws of the state and the laws of the tribe intensify when the film’s protagonist goes to investigate her father-in-law without fear or favor.
