成長於80年代的阿富汗，街童本來以賣黃牛戲票為生。被送到孤兒院後，自由自在的生活頓時變得複雜，但遇上三位投契的室友卻令人生添上不少色彩。少年們幻想自己身處波里活歌舞片的情節中，一邊唱歌跳舞，一邊把壞蛋打到落花流水。孤兒們更有機會遠渡蘇聯，參加夏令營。雖然要接受愛黨教育，但眾人亦在旅程中體驗少年的成長味。可是，殘酷的現實很快便追上不幸的孩子。也許活在蘇聯的統治下，並不是最壞的景況。但要在亂世中勇敢生存，又談何容易？

Set in late Soviet-era Afghanistan, this coming-of-age tale from Shahrbanoo Sadat follows her acclaimed debut Wolf and Sheep, and is the second film in a planned pentalogy based on the diary of writer Anwar Hashimi. Protagonist Qodrat returns, now a 15-year-old boy who is sent to a state orphanage after getting caught selling black market cinema tickets. Coping with bullies, friendship and a nascent romance, Qodrat finds escape in Bollywood-esque song-and-dance fantasies that delight him – and the audience – even as his homeland starts to fall apart. Sadat captures the innocence of late 1980s Afghan youth with pleasing and nostalgia-tinted charm, while remaining keenly aware of the violence that history would soon thrust upon them.
