In this Academy Award nominated film the friendship of two boys is set in pre-war Afghanistan, in a wrenching but highly memorable drama.

A powerful film about lost love, a deliberate lie and its shattering consequences, but with an aftertaste of injustice.

Brilliant performances in a nihilistic film about the American Southwest.
