In the Baltistan region, Aniqa Bano gives birth to a deaf girl, Narjis. She was, until then, unaware children with such disabilities were rejected by their families and not given an identity or a name. 16 years later, Aniqa and her daughter take us on a journey through the region, where Aniqa has built both a school and a home for deaf people. This is the story of a commitment, of how integration and equal opportunities are a direct benefit to the coexistence of society.
