The background of the story of the film is that in Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban government, the little girl Parwana followed her father to sell goods on the street, read and write letters to others, but was expelled by soldiers, and then her father was framed by soldiers on charges of anti-government. Imprisoned in jail.
The father is not there, except for Parwana, there are only mother, sister and a very small brother at home. At that time, the Afghan government stipulated that women must be taken by adult men when they go out, and they must be tightly wrapped, otherwise they will be punished. Therefore, solving the immediate rations has become a top priority for the family. Parvana was rejected when she went out to fetch water and buy things. In desperation, she had to cut her hair short, put on the clothes of her dead brother, and disguised herself as a man to go out to buy things and make money. Parwana met a friend who also pretended to be a boy. The two worked hard together and saved money. One yearned to save money to save her father, and the other yearned to go to the beach and do jewelry business in the future. The beauty of the dream is in huge contrast with the cruel reality in front of them. The shadow of war and the oppression of women by extreme religiousism have always loomed over them.
At the most difficult moment, Parvana insisted on telling stories to her younger brother. In her fantasy story, she became the protagonist and bravely stood up to fight to retrieve the seeds, and finally conquered her fears and influenced the demons. , won the victory. In reality, with the help of kind people, Parwana finally rescued her father. Eventually the family reunites.
The preciousness of this film is not only to depict the evil of war and extreme religious rule, but also to highlight the greatness of human nature-Pavana's independence and bravery, and the perseverance of her family. No matter how difficult a place is, people are the most precious wealth on that land.
The way of expressing the story is animation. The style of painting is quite similar to traditional Chinese animation. It is not so realistic, but it is unexpectedly vivid.
highly recommended.
