Bibish recounts the story of how she was born into an impoverished family in a deeply religious village. At the age of eight, she was brutally abused and left for dead in the desert. Her love for dancing, prohibited by Islamic culture, resulted in her being ostracized, and she secretly dreamed of escaping to freedom.
