Amir’s film is banned from screening in the very remote mountain region on a complaint of the religious head of the town. Amir’s only fault is that he has shown in the film the blood after a child’s birth. He is later arrested and put in custody on the pretext of trying to create social unrest. Seeing no hope, his mother Fatima risks her life and leaves home with a small TV and DVD player to show the film to people in remote villages to fulfil Amir’s dream. During her arduous journey, she meets many people who try to help her, but their own limitations do not permit them to screen her films. Resilient Fatima keeps traveling and quietly observes people’s kindness and social and economic conditions. Gradually, the tiring journey, hopeless situations, and unsuccessful efforts break her mentally and physically. A surprise heart-breaking incident makes her a free soul in the end.
