Overview

A young girl zealously wants to go to school and learn to read and write. Almost everywhere she is met with hostility or indifference. The only young boy who takes her to his school is thrown out by the teacher, because helping her prevented him from arriving in time. On her way home she and other girls are taken as prisoners by boys playing as Taliban fighters. They tear her school book to pieces and threaten to stone their female captives.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A spare, unflinching portrait of a girl's determination to learn in a society violently opposed to her education. The film's observational clarity and the children's raw performances make its quiet brutality deeply affecting.
