This is one of the last testimonies of life in the Afghancapital Kabul before the departure of the US forcesand the arrival of the Taliban, the ‘Koranic students’and their repressive, obscurantist policy. For manyinhabitants, especially women, those were the lastdays of relative freedom after 20 years of war, but alsoof modernisation and growth - of a rule of law. Thesedays were marked by uncertainty about the future andthe daily terror of ambushes, attacks, massacres. Thefilm portrays the decline of a society but also storiesof resistance against the return of the extreme formsof radical Islam. Journalists, health workers, ordinarycitizens who want to live in a non-oppressive country,but also survivors of massacres, such as Habiba (12),who was injured in an attack that killed 85 of herschoolmates. She does not intend to bow her head butwill fight to have a future that does not lock her upunder a burqa and inside the house. Stories of heroeswho will fight to the last, as the feeling of change ispresent everywhere. What will become of liberties andeven partial civil rights? What will happen to the women,who during the first Taliban rule (1996 - 2001) could notshow their faces in public, work, study, leave the housewithout male supervision. What will become of art,music, sports, economics, universities?
