Synopsis[edit]
The story revolves around Saba (Iqra Aziz). She has lived a sheltered life, all well within the constraints of patriarchal norms. Saba finds a teacher and a friend in her elder sister Iqra (Jinaan Hussain). In a tragic turn of events, their elder brother Usman (Syed Jibran) burns Iqra alive in the name of honour. Saba, who held deep respect for Usman as his elder brother who she thought couldn't even harm a fly, now sees him in a completely different light. She grows up the day she sees her sister engulfed in flames and grows out of many ideals she had grown up with. [6] [7]
