Synopsis

Afshin, as his father explains to him, is now the man in the house. The father, an ex-soldier, has to leave the country for security reasons. His barracks became a target of the Taliban; hardly anyone survived the attack. The teenager Afshin is now responsible for the constantly leaking roof of the house, he has to do the shopping and water the dried-up tree. He should also take care of his little brother Benjamin. Above all this hangs deep and picturesque the dusty sky of Kabul. Suicide attacks are commonplace. Abas, the bus driver, wrestles with his debt burden and flees into the drug rush. In his debut film, Aboozar Amini composes sensitively observed situations and aesthetic as well as painful impressions from everyday Afghan life into a cinematic symphony.
