The Swallows of Kabul

In the summer of 1998, Kabul is under Taliban rule. Zunaira and Mosen are young and in love, while Tariq, whose wife is seriously ill, supervises the women who are sentenced to death under Sharia law. A tragic incident will cross the lives of all of them in an unexpected, yet liberating way. The film was included in the “Un Certain Regard” section of the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Animation at the European Film Academy Awards.
