CGiii Comment

Saman is a batcha, which what young male prostitutes are called in Afghanistan. Much against his will, he lives at Farroukhzad's, his master, who also has the role of educating him to the art of dancing. And each night, he delights his protector’s guests dancing dressed as a woman. However, Farroukhzad seems to be less and less happy about Saman's unpleasant attitude and the arrival of Bijane, who has been chosen to replace him, will fill Saman with jealousy.
