Naima, a fourteen-year-old girl from a poor Bangladeshi family, dreams of helping her loved ones. Her artistic abilities don't translate to income, and when her father's bicycle rickshaw—their main source of income—is threatened by loan sharks, she takes matters into her own hands. Disguising herself as a boy, Naima attempts to drive the rickshaw, but a crash jeopardizes the family’s livelihood and forces them to confront difficult circumstances.
