East Pakistan, 1971. On their way to visit their mother, two sisters, Lucky and Jamila, are captured by Pakistani soldiers and thrown into a world of horror. Locked in a room in an unknown village-turned-camp by the river, the women look through a lone barred window onto the first jasmines blooming day and night. Meanwhile, around the camp, deadly guerrilla fighters from the Bengali Mukti Bahini gather to take back territory from the Pakistan Army. As Bangladesh crowns painfully into the world, Lucky and Jamila must choose between heartbreak or secrecy to return from an unspoken violence.
