KANDAHAR / SAFAR Е GANDEHAR

Nafas is a young journalist born in Afghanistan who fled to Canada during the civil war with the Taliban. At the beginning of the film, she tells her story to a helicopter pilot who tries to smuggle her into Afghanistan. When her family fled, Nafas's younger sister was injured by a mine and lost in the commotion. Now, years later, Nafas has received a letter from her sister. She wrote that she could no longer live under the Taliban regime and decided to commit suicide during the next solar eclipse. Nafas has only three days to break into the country and reach the city of Kandahar to stop it. Covering herself with a thick burqa to enter Afghanistan, Nafas personally experienced the stifling lack of freedom to which Afghan women were subjected.
