Set in a diffi cult and harrowing period of Afghanistan, Young
children as they are, Karim and Suraya had deep love for
each other. Suraya a mean girl who enjoys embarrassing and
annoying others while Karim a simple and peaceful boy who
becomes the target of Suraya's meanness-they soon fi nd
solace in each other's company. With the ongoing civil war
in Afghanistan and the hard life most people are facing, this
poses several challenges to the suppressed emotions they are
feeling and keeping. The hardships and obstacles-physically
and emotionally-that have come their way have stretched
their patience and endurance to the limits. How will they end
their suffering and pain? Maybe Moving away, murder, and
suicide may just be the solutions and options they would have
to take.
