| Synopsis |
Kabul, August 15, 2021. As US troops prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan, the Taliban storm the capital and seize power, plunging the city into chaos. Thousands of Afghans flock to the last safe haven: the French Embassy, where Commander Mohamed Bida and his elite crew ensure security. Trapped inside along with hundreds of civilians, Bida—with the help of Eva, a young French-Afghan humanitarian worker—must negotiate with the Taliban to organize a convoy in a last-ditch attempt to evacuate. Thus begins a race against time to reach the airport and flee the hell of Kabul before it’s too late.
Based on the incredible true story of Commander Mohamed Bida, (from the eponymous novel published by Denoël). |
