The Taliban is ruthlessly ruling Afghanistan and repressive especially for women who are demonstrating for work. Osama, her mother and her grandmother are without a male in their family. The hospital is closing and the mother is without work. Doctors and nurses are arrested. She doesn't get any of the pay she's owed. The only option left is to disguise Osama as a boy.
This is an unforgiving portrait of life under the Taliban. It is probably as close as any modern thinking person wish to be. It is a place without hope. It's the gritty realism of Afghanistan that makes this so compelling. It is an unrelenting film about oppression.
