Music, Drama
A historic drama with musical Bollywood scenes. Kabul in the early 90s. Soviet values rule the country. Women can wear miniskirts, children can go to school and people can go to the cinema, concerts as well as universities. Life in Afghanistan is similar to life in the Western world. 14 years old Qodrat sells cinema tickets on the black market in the streets of Kabul. After selling a ticket to a secret police officer by mistake, he ends up at the Soviet orphanage, where he fakes his identity at the registration, in hope of getting more power. Everyday life for Qodrat is about friendships, falling in love, doing naughty things and going on adventures – just like it is for children in other parts of the world. However, behind the safe walls of the orphanage the world they once knew is drastically changing as the Mujahideens start the civil war.

[AFFBCN] Childhood lost in the middle of the war. As in "Wolf and Sheep" (2016), the director explores this childhood with a magical but also realistic point of view. Here Bollywood movies are the protagonist's imaginative escape. The simplicity of the story worked best in the first movie. But some moments of musical escape provide the best scenes. It is a radical coming-of-age, a coming of age all at once.
