Safar e Ghandehar

The film tells the story of a young Afghan journalist traveling from Canada to her homeland to stop her sister's suicide. In impressive aesthetics the film mirrors the paradox between the beauty of the images and the repression they refer to. Above all, it is a parable of hope and a representation of the present reality, showing the desperate situation of women and the horrors of war. (Photo: © Makhmalbaf Film House)
