And "The Breadwinner" tells the story during the 2001-2014 Afghanistan War.
The Pawana family lives in Kabul, Afghanistan, in the darkness of war.
Pawana’s father said something like this: “ When we have nothing, we can always remember the story.”
The father who said these words was a pillar of support for his family by leaning on the market in Kabul to help others write and read letters with a thin body missing a leg every day. His heart is firm and optimistic. No matter how chaotic and dark the outside world is, he will always change his way to tell Pawana stories, incorporating knowledge and life principles into the story. He tells the 11-year-old Pawana that this country used to be a In a happy and free place, women can not only behave at will, they can also read and travel around , but after coups, foreign invasions, and years of civil war, everything has changed. Some people hope that the leaders will restore order. The final heavy price is to set strict ethics for women. Women must never go out to attract unnecessary attention. If they show their appearance to outsiders, they will be cursed by Islamic law and will never go to heaven.
Sister Quan is lucky to live in a peaceful country. She can't understand the need to avoid multiple bombings and possible fatal injuries to make a meal. She stands up and pats the dust before continuing to cook. There are thousands of samples of life, no matter which one you encounter, you have to face it, and you have to survive to have hope, just like this movie.
Pawana's father said that he would be better tomorrow. Not long after saying this, he was sent to prison by the Taliban.
"The breadwinner" with Pawana's story as the main line kicked off because of his father's imprisonment. . . . . .

A window
A dilapidated window is a scene that has appeared countless times in this animated film. It is the only window in Pawana's house. The light coming in through the window is sometimes bright and sometimes gray as the plot changes.
The family in the window has a hard life, but it is very warm. Although my sister often quarrels with her sister, the two trust and care about each other. When the younger sister decided to pretend to be a woman and go out to make money and shoulder the family's survival, the older sister gave her the most strength and hugs, and helped her cut her long hair. The three-year-old brother is a pistachio in the family, carefree, acting like a baby, and every time he appears in the picture, the color of the whole family is active. The mother is kind and brave, and she worries about the survival of the family every day, sad for her husband who has been in prison, and Pawana who is disguised as a man and goes out to earn a living for the family, and worries about the marriage of her eldest daughter.
The people in the window often use this window to perceive the outside world and know the safety of their family members. Through this window, they feel every disappointment and hope. Inside the window is a dependent family, outside the window is a dark country and an unknown tomorrow, and there is freedom that people yearn for but not clear.

A piece of sea
In fact, the sea does not appear in the film. This sea is Pawana’s classmate and the most desirable place for good girlfriends who also pretend to be men and women to survive. The sea is a place full of hope, strength, freedom and peace. When two thin little girls, just after a day’s exhaustion, avoiding minefields that could explode at any time, struggling to climb up an old tank, all around, the sunset is beautiful, but the sunset is beautiful. The classmates opened their bright eyes and looked into the distance, talking about the dream of a sea, and talking about doing a small business on the seashore of freedom, and living a peaceful life, but Sister Quan couldn't feel calm in her heart.
In particular, there is a clip. When the two girls are finally separated, facing the future of life and death, Pawana promises to meet her at the beach in twenty years. Which scene is the hope that burns in the eyes of the little girl. , In fact, there is still hopelessness of uncertainty, which moves people.
In order to survive, they have to disguise themselves as boys and do all kinds of tiring and heavy work. The small bosses who only look at their interests will find various reasons to deduct their wages. Only in this way, Pawana and her family, there are millions of dollars. Only people like them can survive in this space of darkness, discrimination, and war . Although the cruel reality has overwhelmed the people, in any case, the courage and hope to live still need.
This sea is the hope of countless Pawana. Pray that one day, hope will come true.

A letter
After Pawana's father went to jail, she continued to sell things that seemed worthwhile at the market, and helped others write and read letters to earn a living. One day, a big Taliban with a weapon asked her to read a letter for her. The letter was sent by his relatives. The letter said a sad reality. His beloved wife was on the way to take a ride to drink his sister’s wedding wine. Unfortunately, he stepped on thunder and died, and the sad big man left the market in despair.
The big man who joined the Taliban probably wanted to survive. However, in this war-torn country, tragedies like his wife are happening all the time. Even as a member of the organization, he is unable to change the status quo, and his relatives will inevitably suffer disasters.
The words of the big man’s wife before he died: "May Allah guide your path and give you courage." It is precisely because of the impact of this incident that the big man understands Pawana’s desire to see her father. In the end, Risking his life to rescue his father, and told him to leave Kabul with his family forever.
Perhaps the weapon of the big man has been contaminated with the blood of countless civilians, but through saving Pawana's father this time, he has realized his own salvation.
As "The Kite Chaser" said: "When evil deeds lead to good deeds, that is true salvation."

a story
Throughout the whole movie is the story of Suriman. When Pawana’s family was the most difficult and helpless, she began to tell the story of Suriman; when Pawana and her best friend encountered injustice, this story appeared; when Pawana was in fear outside the prison where her father was held. Desperate prayer When the father was rescued, Suriman's story is a symbol of hope that evokes the courage of every "them".
The story is very simple. There used to be a village where people lived a simple and happy life. One day, the elephant king came to this gang to trample the village, and took away the hope of the whole village and the seeds of survival. A boy named Suliman stood up bravely and vowed to become the whole village. Hope, get the seeds back. The witch told him that he needed a shining (light), a catch (net), and a calming (calm) three things in order to retrieve the seeds.
The most heartbreaking part of this story is the ending of the story, because this ending tells the truth about why Suriman (Pavana’s brother) died; " My mother is a writer, my father is a teacher, and my sisters are always arguing. , I found a toy on the street one day, and then it exploded. "
When Suliman in the story faced the glaring and ferocious elephant king, he had to use the last trick "calm" to retrieve the seeds of love and hope. Pawana asked Suliman to bravely tell why he died. The story, kept talking, over and over again, letting the story and the truth alternate over and over again, the calm accusation made the circle sister cry, and finally Xiang Wang really stopped the attack and returned the seed to Suli Man.
The story is over, the ending is beautiful, and people live a happy life again.

However, the real story continues. Pavana took her dying father and walked in the quiet night sky. After experiencing countless hardships and partings, she finally understood why her father kept telling stories to herself and encouraged her to tell stories. Understand what my father said: "When we have nothing, the story can always be remembered in our hearts."
Blood flows in every war, and every war has survivors.
Pawana and her family are survivors, but facing this religiously alienated society, facing this country that has been blood-stained by war for many years, the survivors may not be lucky . Unless the hostile people can listen to the suffering of the people, face the suffering, give up tyranny, and rebuild their homes like the king in the story.
Yes, it makes more sense to speak, not to increase the volume!
