Synopsis

A moving portrait of Sara, Afghanistan's first female taxi driver. Filmmaker Patricia Franquesa captures the strength of a powerful woman who breaks through the barriers of a highly patriarchal society. Sara's bright eyes convey her tireless defense of women's rights and fight to achieve what seemed impossible. An inspiring story of friendship between two women who are full of life, an ode to empathy and dialogue between cultures. The circular tale of Sara's life story turns from fear to love and from love to fear. A testimony of a reality that no longer exists.
