Kamay

After a young girl from the mountains of central Afghanistan mysteriously commits suicide inside Kabul University, her family’s calm rural life enters into a painful and exhausting process. Parents are looking for justice in a country on the verge of collapse and Freshta -their younger daughter- attempts to gain admission to the same university.
