"The film follows the story of Alishah Farhang who set out on a mission to bring competitive skiing to the ancient mountain town of Bamyan, Afghanistan. However, following the shocking collapse of the Afghan government at the hands of the Taliban in 2021, Alishah is forced to flee, leaving his beloved home country to face an uncertain future.
