She appears in a black burqa with her face covered with a two-faced mask — white on one side and blue on the other. She was married at the age of 15 to a man three times her age and known to be violent.

We see her, for the first time, in a recorded episode of the Afghan TV show, Neqab. She is sheepish but once she overcomes her initial reluctance, you hear about a life where violence was the only thing that never changed; throughout her married life she was beaten, often deprived of food and forced to have sexual relations with her husband. The woman in the mask, Mrs Yasmeen (name changed), complains to her father about why he put her through this, on television.
