Thousands of families still live beneath the Buddha’s statue that the Taliban destroyed. Baktay, the six-year-old Afghan girl is provoked to go to school by their neighbor’s son who reads the alphabet in front of their cave. On her way to school she is harassed by boys who are playing games of what they have seen in their violent society. The boys want to stone Baktay or destroy her like the Buddha or shoot her like the Americans do in the labyrinth of caves. Will Baktay be able to overcome these obstacles in order to learn the alphabet of her mother tongue?
