Summaries

  • In the mountains of Pakistan, a mother and her ten-year-old daughter flee their home on the eve of the girl's marriage to a tribal leader. A deadly hunt for them begins.
  • The story revolves around a daughter (Zainab) and the mother (Allah Rakhi). Two tribes agree upon putting an end to their disputes if the 14 year old Zainab of one tribe is married to the leader of other tribe who is an old man. Allah Rakhi flees from her home with her daughter and the deadly hunt for both of them begins. A truck driver helps them both reach Lahore where Allah Rakhi's mother lives. During this venture there come ups and downs. Some people die. The movie maker has left many things for viewers to conclude on their own.—Rizwan Siddiqui
  • In the mountains of Pakistan lives a Pashtun family headed by an old patriarch married to a much younger woman, Allah Rakhi. They have a ten-year-old daughter, Zainab. One day, the father breaks the news that he has given away his daughter to a powerful tribal leader in marriage to settle a bloody feud. Allah Rakhi's worst fear is coming true, as Zainab's life, which has barely begun is about to end. On the morning of Zainab's wedding day, Allah Rakhi pulls off a daring escape with her daughter, and begins her journey into the unknown. The hunt for the mother and the daughter begins in earnest. The escape represents a damning act of dishonour to the family punishable only by death. On the road, Allah Rakhi and Zainab meet a truck driver, Sohail, who helps them thinking they need a ride to the next stop. As the men begin to pursue his truck, he finds out their true identity and pur-pose, and realizes his life is in as much danger as theirs since anyone helping the runaway mother and child would be caught and punished as well. As the relentless chase intensifies, Sohail has no course except to devise an escape plan in the formidable winter landscape where they can be betrayed by any stranger. As Allah Rakhi, Sohail and Zainab continue their journey together, their destinies now entwined, Allah Rakhi finds herself falling for a man she is forbidden to love. Carefully dodging the fearsome, far-reaching influence of the tribal leader, the trio embarks on an epic journey through the sweeping landscape of Pakistan where the search for freedom and love comes with a price.—Film Fanatic
