After 30 years of war and Taliban rule, pop culture has returned to Afghanistan. 'Afghan Star', an X-Factor style TV Series, is searching the country for the next generation of music stars. Even three women come foward.

But in this troubled country, music is controversial. Considered sacreligeous by the Mujahideen and banned by the Taliban, music has come to symbolise freeedom for the youth. This feelgood film follows the dramatic stories of four contestants as they risk their lives to become the nations favourite singer.
