At the beginning of the film, Parvana's father said that "everything goes with the wind, but the story stays in the heart". So this time, let's look at the stories of the breadwinners in this barren land. The first story was told by him. As he said, Afghanistan used to be the bridge of the world, allowing the East and the West to communicate with each other; they studied the stars and explored the laws in chaos; they had astronomers, philosophers, and storytellers; they conquered a problem and then explored New conundrum; Afghanistan was so important in the world at the time. "But our neighboring empires are at war with each other. The national map has been rewritten again and again for thousands of years." He once felt peaceful Kabul, but history keeps repeating itself. Afghanistan has always played the role of an "imperial cemetery", draining the wealth of the empire and the belief in people's lives: "First there was a coup, then the enemy invaded, and then civil war broke out. In troubled times, some people hope that some people can Restoring order, but at a heavy price." Then came a word from Sister Parvana. This is more like a proverb than a story, conveying a faint warm belief in life. "You'll get better when you're full." Then there's a story about Parvana's deceased brother. Very short, straightforward and powerful. "My name is Suleiman, my mom is a writer, my dad is a teacher, and my two sisters are always arguing. One day, I found a toy in the street. I picked it up, it exploded, and the back I don't know what happened. Because that's the end." In the end, Parwana and her father reunited, and the father and daughter completed a story together, or rather, they told about Afghanistan. "People are the most valuable asset in our land. Our neighbouring empires have always been at war with each other. The Hindu Kush mountains, across our land, the hot northern deserts scorching our land, blackened fragments The rock and soil are against this icy peak. Our original name is Ariana, and it is a great country." The film is about Afghanistan under the Taliban rule around 2001. True, that is the story of the past, the story of the present, the story of the future, how it is told in Afghanistan, we will see. "You can be loud, but don't shout. It's the dew that nourishes the flowers, not the thunder."
