Danish artist and pilot Simone Aaberg Kaern vows to help a
16-year-old Afghan girl realize her dream of becoming a fighter
pilot.
One day, Danish artist and pilot Simone Aaberg Kaern reads in her
morning paper the story of a 16-year-old Afghan girl who dreams of
becoming a fighter pilot. Flying 3,000 miles to Kabul in her
rickety canvas-covered plane, Kaern vows to find young Farial and
make her airborne dream come true. After 50 hours in the air, 33
landings and an illegal entry into Afghanistan, Kaern finally
reaches Kabul. Once there, she locates Farial and takes the
astonished teenager into the air on the ride of a lifetime. But
soon the unlikely pair faces cultural turbulence, as Kaern learns
how rigidly Afghanistan's conservative traditions govern the life
of an ambitious teenage girl.
