Ten-year-old Rabia (Nazualiya Arsalan) is heartbroken when her village school closes due to terrifying rumours of a ghost. Determined to learn, she braves a courageous, solo journey across the Pakistan countryside on both horse and foot to solve the mystery.
As she encounters more evasive and politically motivated adults, she only grows more determined. A thrilling and inspiring drama that proves a child’s unstoppable thirst for knowledge can conquer any fear.
