SYNOPSYS:

In Bamyan, Afghanistan, ZAKIA (25), FATIMA (21) and FARIBA (16) dream of becoming professional skiers and representing Afghanistan at the Olympic Games. When their European ski trainer ANA (30) announces they can go to Europe to train extensively and become licensed ski instructors, they seem one step closer to achieving their dreams. The girls prepare for their trip, dedicating all their efforts to it for two years. But when they finally arrive in Europe, they immediately face insurmountable cultural differences and the harsh standards of European professional sports. The girls' dreams are universal and easy to identify with, while their culture is much more complex and often difficult to understand from other perspectives. While the film does not judge or take sides, it offers observational insights into an emotional and unpredictable journey of melting dreams.
