Overview

According to a central Asian tradition, the younger brother is responsible for the wife of his brother in his absence. So 13-year-old Jamshed is too. Lack of work made his brother leave for the West to earn money. Jamshed does what he should do, even though he dreams of things that boys of his age much prefer to do. He regards his sister-in-law and his duty to her as a burden.
