Mahboba Rawi has dedicated herself to orphans of Afghanistan. She is the mother figure for many. Abdul, one of the orphans, is in love with Fatemeh, the girl next door. They hope to marry. But her father has other plans. He wants her to marry anyone offering a large dowry. Devastated, Abdul hopes Mahboba will help him again. But, Fatemeh’s father demands beyond anyone’s expectation. He wants them to pay $10,000 or find a wife for his son instead. The couple’s fate depends on Mahboba to meet or negotiate his terms.
