Razia is excited when her grandfather tells her there's a school for girls being built in their Afghan village. At last, girls will have the same opportunity to be educated as boys. Her grandfather wants Razia to enrol in the school. He remembers a time, before the wars and the Taliban, when educated women in Afghanistan made families and the country stronger. Razia knows, however, that she will need permission from her father and her oldest brother in order to be allowed to attend the school. But will her grandfather's words be enough to convince the younger men of the value of an education for Razia?
