On the very same day that the Taliban takes over Afghanistan, Leila and Sajjad learn they’re expecting their first child. To escape the Taliban, this Kabul-based is suddenly on its way to Pakistan. During the escape they change home 9 times. They are searching for a way to escape to a Western country, but each month, Leila’s pregnancy multiplies the risk.
