Nafas (Niloufar Pazira) is a reporter who was born in Afghanistan, but fled
with her family to Canada when she was a child. However, her sister wasn't
so lucky; she lost her legs to a land mine while young, and when Nafas and
her family left the country, her sister was accidentally left behind. Nafas
receives a letter from her sister announcing that she's decided to commit
suicide during the final eclipse before the dawn of the 21st century;
desperate to spare her sister's life, Nafas makes haste to Afghanistan,
where she joins a caravan of refugees who, for a variety of reasons, are
returning to the war-torn nation. As Nafas searches for her sister, she soon
gets a clear and disturbing portrait of the toll the Taliban regime has taken
upon its people
