An 18-year-old girl living in the shabby outskirts of Teheran, Iran. As an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan, Sonita wants to become a rapper, but faces an obstacle. To provide for her brother’s wedding dowry per Afghani customs, she must return home and get married. With her marriage, her family will receive $9,000. What’s more, women are not allowed to sing in Iran. Her hopeless situation is turned around when the director becomes involved, and makes a detailed documentary of Sonita’s life, as she fights against the suffocating traditions and customs with only rap as her weapon.
