Salma, a UNFPA original film, follows the life and dream of a young girl from a rural background who is married at a very early age. The film shows her struggle with the weight of her marital responsibility and with the loss of her dreams. She has to forgo her education and any chances she had choosing her destiny. While her older husband tries to make a go of the marriage, social pressures, inherent biases and cultural stigma force them into decisions that they are not ready for.
