Summary
In the mountains of Pakistan, a young mother's life takes an unexpected turn. Allah Rakhi kidnaps her ten-year-old daughter Zainab to save her from a child marriage to a tribal leader. Their escape is a damning loss of honor for the two families so a deadly hunt for them begins. Desperate for help, Allah Rakhi strikes an unlikely deal with Sohail, a cynical ex-Mujahid truck driver to take them to the city of Lahore. What follows is an epic journey through the sweeping landscape of Pakistan where the search for freedom and love comes with a price. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. "*A gorgeous, suspenseful cinematic achievement.*" - ***The Los Angeles Times***
