A young girl in Pakistan finds that her school is closed. Rumor is that it is haunted and the ghosts have scared away the adminstrators. Knowing that isn't the case she goes to investigate.
This is a good little drama that is going to work better for some people than others. I say this because the film is mostly the girl going from person to person in her village asking them what is really going on. It's an eye opening portrait of life in a small village in Pakistan where officials take advantage of their constituants by either stealing money or forcing them to pay bribes. While not a cynical as this could have been had this been aimed squarely at adults, the film still paints a portrait that shows life isn't always a bowl of cherries.
I liked it but at the same time I know it isn't for everyone.
