In this documentary, we follow the 2008 season of "Afghan Star", a local version of "Pop Idol", as it whittles down to its final four contestants. The focus is on two women, Setara and Lema, and two men, Hameed and Rafi, each with their own unique style and struggles. Setara's emotional performances and dance moves put her life at risk, while Lema's traditional singing brings her death threats. The three finalists hail from different tribes and use their platform to plead for Afghan unity.
