"In our hometown, people are the most priceless treasures,

It makes more sense to speak than to raise the volume;

After all, it is rain that nourishes flower growth, not thunder. "

I have recently read some books and movies about the war in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule. We, who are living in peacetime, cannot feel the wars that are taking place on the other side of the world. In the midst of coming and going, what supports them is the affection between ordinary people and the tenacity of the nation.

Compared with the impeccable and beautiful life depicted in "Dream Hunter", perhaps the troubled times in "The Breadwinner" are more realistic.

The Breadwinner quotes

  • Parvana: What about your father? Doesn't he depend on you?

    Shauzia: I'm a good son, but he is not a good father.

  • Parvana: What will you do by the sea?

    Shauzia: I'd buy things and sell things like I do here but, for myself. There are people who go to the edge of the water to do nothing! They just sit there and they look at the sea with their sunglasses on, or swim about on floating tubes. So, I could sell them those things.
