Prison Sisters plot

Sequel to the documentary No Burqas Behind Bars. Sara was in a women's prison in Afghanistan because she ran off with her boyfriend at the age of 17. When Sara is released, Sara applies for asylum in Sweden and, while waiting for an answer, gets used to a country where freedom for women is normal. However, she is never really free: she feels connected to Najibeh and worries about her fate. Sara starts a search for Najibeh from Sweden and soon hears the news that Najibeh has been stoned. But her death is surrounded by all sorts of contradictions.
