"Afghan Star" is a TV show modeled after "Pop Idol" that follows nine contestants, focusing on two women, Setara and Lema, and two men, Hameed and Rafi. The show highlights the dangers faced by the two women, Setara and Lema, as they pursue their passion for singing. Despite receiving death threats, Lema's traditional style shines through, while Setara's emotional performances, including a daring dance routine, put her life at risk. The three finalists, from different tribes, plead for Afghan unity as the show comes to a close.
