Amidst the wreckage beneath the ruined statue of the Buddha, thousands of families struggle to survive. Baktay, a six-year-old Afghan girl is challenged to go to school by her neighbour's son. Having found the money to buy a notebook and taking her mother's lipstick for a pencil, Baktay sets out. On her way, she is harassed by boys playing games that mimic the terrible violence they have witnessed. They want to stone the little girl, to blow her up as the Taliban blew up the Buddha and to shoot her like the Americans.
