Nadia Nadim, whose dad was killed by the Taliban in 2000, has embarked on this quest. The young Afghan woman, her 4 sisters, and their mother fled Kabul in the wake of the violence. Today, the Taliban have returned to rule. Football passion is what saved Nadia. She became a striker on the national team of her adoptive land, Denmark, then for the Paris-Saint-Germain women's team. Nadia, having achieved football stardom, wants to return to Afghanistan, to find out more about her father's fate. But the country is torn by terrorism as the Taliban and ISIS sow chaos daily. Giving up the trip, Nadia must grieve for another loss. However, she is unsinkable, and has plans for the future: graduate as a reconstructive surgeon and heal her people.

En 2001, alors qu'elle a onze ans, Nadia Nadim, jeune afghane, voit son père assassiné par les talibans. Avec sa mère et ses soeurs, elle quitte son pays et trouve refuge au Danemark, où elle découvre le football. Naturalisée, elle intègre l'équipe nationale et devient une vedette du football féminin. Aujourd'hui, elle souhaiterait retourner dans son pays natal, sur les traces de son père.
