The relationship between Patricia Franquesa, the director of this documentary, and Sara, the first cab driver in Afghanistan, is proposed to us as a story of friendship whose thread is united by the gaze in front of the camera, where we stand as spectators, but to which the protagonist of the documentary constantly speaks.

All the material filmed in front of this strong and confident woman, who is aware of being working on a story, is offered to us as a tribute that acquires greater impact when we learn about the political and social evolution that took place and continues to take place in Afghanistan.

Synopsis: This is a moving portrait of Sara, the first woman cab driver in Afghanistan. Spanish filmmaker Patricia Franquesa captures the strength of a powerful woman who breaks through the barriers of a society marked by patriarchy. Sara has bright eyes, tireless in defending women's rights and fighting to achieve what seemed impossible. It is an inspiring story of friendship between two women full of life, a hymn to empathy and dialogue between cultures: the circular tale of Sara's life story turns from fear to love and from love to fear: a testimony of a reality that no longer exists.
