On August 15th, 2021, the Taliban captured Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, following the withdrawal of the US troops after a 20-years long war. That was the day the lives of Fatima Faizi, Hamed Ahmedi, and Yasser Arwand changed irreparably.
This film follows the journey of Fatima, Hamed, and Yasser, as they resettle in the United States and try to create a new home for themselves, whilst fearing for the safety of their family and friends back home.
The film captures the mental turmoil that comes from a lack of permanence abroad and a fractured homeland you can’t return to.
