Overview

A portrayal of the lives of a number of women, living in rural circumstances where patriarchy rules. The conflict takes place between them and the domineering society that distorts their individualism and thwarts their efforts for freedom. However, equipped with patience, determination to reject male dominance, and education, the young woman Rafeef succeeds in liberating herself from her husband's dominance and that of her environment, attaining liberation by pursuing higher education with the help of Dr. Ashmoon, a university professor and poet whom she falls in love with. The journey from darkness to light passes through many thresholds that eventually culminate in finding one's identity and achieving goals.
