Synopsis

Nazir, an Afghan boy, was abducted at the age of 10. He is now 18 years old, living with his captor in a house whose geographical location he doesn’t know. Nazir is his sexual slave, for the purpose of pleasure, dresses in women’s clothing and dances for men at nighttime gatherings. Now, Nazir considers himself an identity-less person who feels like he’s migrating every day, migrating from his own body to another.
