It’s snowing in Kabul, and gregarious waiter Mustafa charms a pretty student named Wajma. The pair begin a clandestine relationship—they’re playful and passionate but ever mindful of the societal rules they are breaking. After Wajma discovers she is pregnant, her certainty that Mustafa will marry her falters, and word of their dalliance gets out. Her father must decide between his culturally held right to uphold family honor and his devotion to his daughter.

Very good!

<em>'Wajma'</em>, a.k.a. <em>'An Afghan Love Story'</em>, is a well done flick. Barmak Akram & Co. do a great job at making everything feel real, particularly one scene with Wajma Bahar and Haji Gul Aser - both of whom impress with their performances, especially the former.

Fully merits a viewing.
