Synopsis

My sister Nasreen once filled our home with her beautiful voice. However, she stopped singing when pressured to marry Mohammad. Over the years, Nasreen dedicated herself to being an excellent wife and mother. Yet, Mohammad primarily saw his role as working outside the home, leaving Nasreen longing for the simple joys and affections of married life. Over seven years of filming Nasreen, I closely witnessed her journey to free her voice as a singer and a woman. From a vulnerable homemaker, she gradually transformed into a woman in control of her own destiny.
