              The film focuses on the re-enactment of a demonstration of women against the prohibition of work introduced by the Taliban. The shots were taken during the shooting of the Afghan feature film OSAMA in November 2002 in the streets of Kabul. 1000 women had come to play in this scene, and their personal experiences were identical with the ones of the protagonists. Most of the women acted in the demonstration scene to earn money. By demanding work they hoped to improve their real situation.

              Passing the Rainbow looks at ways of subverting the strict gender norms in Afghan society, in areas like performance and film production as well as in daily and political life. A theatre company run by a young teacher in Kabul who moonlights as an actress, a policewoman who also directs action films, an activist with the organisation RAWA who defends the radical separation of State and religion, and Malek, who lives as if she were a boy in order to get a job: these women are the heroines of Passing the Rainbow.
