Plot summary

In 1993, a young Tajik woman named Mira returns to her hometown Dushanbe after living in Russia in the early years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Upon her arrival, she learns that her father has gambled her away to an old man, Ibrohim, who is eagerly claiming his prize. Mira goes into hiding while the Tajik Civil War rages outside. She meets and falls in love with Daler, the local cable car driver.
