Handling:
MIT BØRNEHJEM I KABUL foregår i slutningen af 1980'erne. Den 15-årige Qodrat bor på gaden og sælger billetter til Bollywood film på det sorte marked. Han er kæmpe Bollywood fan, og dagdrømmer sig væk fra gadelivet og ind i sine yndlingsfilm. En dag fanger politiet ham imidlertid og anbringer ham på det sovjetiske børnehjem. Børnene bliver af sovjet inviteret på sommerlejr i Moskva, hvor de besøger Lenins mumie. Tilbage i Kabul ændrer den politiske situation sig i mellemtiden. Russerne bliver presset ud, og rebellerne dominerer gaderne i Kabul. Da en armeret gruppe rebeller når frem til børnehjemmet, bruger Qodrat sine dagdrømme til at forestille sig, at børnehjemmet forsvarer dem selv og deres hjem.
Plot (English):
A historic drama with musical Bollywood scenes. Kabul in the early 90s. Soviet values rule the country. Women can wear miniskirts, children can go to school and people can go to the cinema, concerts as well as universities. Life in Afghanistan is similar to life in the Western world. 14 years old Qodrat sells cinema tickets on the black market in the streets of Kabul. After selling a ticket to a secret police officer by mistake, he ends up at the Soviet orphanage, where he fakes his identity at the registration, in hope of getting more power. Everyday life for Qodrat is about friendships, falling in love, doing naughty things and going on adventures – just like it is for children in other parts of the world. However, behind the safe walls of the orphanage the world they once knew is drastically changing as the Mujahideens start the civil war.
