At Kunduz, we meet an Afghan generation torn between the fear of Taliban attacks and the consequences of the foreign military presence. Ten-year-old Mirwais talks about war and peace like an adult. Nazanin, a local journalist, fights for women’s rights while wearing a burka. Hasib, a student, dreams of free elections. Ghulam and Khatera are making their fictional film in the midst of an armed conflict. In spite of everything, all five protagonists dream of a better society.
