Synopsis
In the late 1980s, 15-year-old Qodrat lives in the streets of Kabul and sells cinema tickets on the black market. He is a big Bollywood fan and he daydreams himself into some of his favourite movie scenes. One day, the Police bring him to the Soviet orphanage. But in Kabul the political situation is changing. Qodrat and all the children want to defend their home. This refreshing if sometimes surreal work, interspersed with song-and-dance routines, played at the Directors’ Fortnight at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
