Nasreen is a twelve-year-old girl whose dream is to read and write in a village where education is only for boys. While assisting her mother during a delivery Nasreen meets a wise woman who allows her to secretly study. Nasreen's father arranges her marriage to an older man once she becomes a woman. Horrified by this notion, Nasreen does everything in her power to postpone her first periods. When destiny catches up with her she hides her womanhood from her community to pursue her dream. Until one day, the truth is revealed.
