In a mountainous village in North Afghanistan, Amina, 25, is murdered after being found in Karim''s home. In this veiled, harsh environment, these are the only facts that everyone agrees upon. Was she strangled, stoned to death or did she die of a heart attack? Did she have a relationship with Karim - were they lovers?

Attempts to find the truth, allow us a fascinating look at life and at the traditional codes of behavior that tear apart the very fabric of this small, sparse, Muslim community.
