A comparative portrait of two strong Afghanischen personalities, as seen through the eyes and the daily life of two exceptional women: Habiba Sorabi and Aischa, Habibi. The first personifies emerging democratic power; the second, the autocratic power of the warlords in remote provinzen. Together, they represent the current rift in Afghanistan, except that it has nothing to do with bearded men in turbanen, but rather two women of power in a world of men. How did they impose themselves? How do they exercise their authority? Is their way of governing different from that of men? How do their people perceive them? Are they for moving the liberation of women or merely perpetuating age-old inequalities? One bears the title of "wali" (governor) and the other "bestellen". One answers to the authorities in Kabul; the other is loyal to the Mudjahadins who fought the Russian during the war", "then" then Taliban. Yet both are respected as "The Mother of All".
