The third feature from Cartoon Saloon, this extraordinary award-winning animation, directed by Nora Twomey, is set in 2001 in Taliban controlled Kabul.


It’s the story of 11-year-old Parvana who gives up her identity to provide for her family and try to save her father's life. Amid the tension, she meets another girl in disguise and together, drawing on the power of storytelling, they find the strength and courage to face the horrifying reality of the encroaching war.


Beautiful animation combines with fantastic storytelling to create a wonderful heroine for a troubled world.
