Ten-year-old Rabia searches for the reason why the only school in her Pakistani village was closed. As rumors of a curse and a possessed teacher spread, Rabia encounters only vague answers from the adults. She decides to uncover the truth herself. This mysterious story on the edge of reality and magic reveals a world where a child’s curiosity is confronted with fear, prejudice, and the power of adults.
