They say its a beautiful feeling to love and be loved because when you love someone you tend to overlook their flaws or maybe blindfold yourself to them. 

rumi says, 'a lover sees no faults in his beloved'

that's how the tale starts when Rida, a village girl, truly, madly and deeply falls in love with a guy from another city and risks to leave her entire family for him. but what about Usman? unfortunately he could not value her love enough and due to his carelessness Rida becomes a prey to inhumane group of people. she becomes a victim to heinous crime of human trafficking.a wickedly heartbreaking short film which shows two sides of love, both extremes, both dark, both daring and heart wrenching; but on different poles. one side represents willingness to go beyond to be with your beloved and the other one, destruction of thyself.highlighting one of the most tragic crime of all times, this story meets its destination where both of the lovers find an end to their story, and themselves.
