In a tribal country where the family name and status are very significant, Aisha, a 27 years old psychology graduate was abandoned by her parents at the age of months and raised in the orphanage. Not only that Aisha has to survive the tough life in a country where human rights barely exist, but also strives for acceptance from the society. Aisha is a psychological epic, following the charismatic, funny, emotional and persistent Aisha from 2010 to 2014.
