ORCHESTRA FROM THE LAND OF SILENCE

Young Marzia is a violinist who plays in the first Afghan women's orchestra Zohra. In her country many people find it unacceptable to play music, especially when it comes to young women. During a world music festival in Slovakia, the orchestra undergoes some surprising and dramatic twists and turns.
