Synopsis:
Amir is a young Afghani from a well-to-do Kabul family; his best friend Hassan is the son of a family servant. Together the two boys form a bond of friendship that breaks tragically on one fateful day, when Amir fails to save his friend from brutal neighborhood bullies. Amir and Hassan become separated, and as first the Soviets and then the Taliban seize control of Afghanistan, Amir and his father escape to the United States to pursue a new life. Years later, Amir – now an accomplished author living in San Francisco – is called back to Kabul to right the wrongs he and his father committed years ago.

This moving film is one of very few that I immediately start over and watch again. One time is usually enough for me, but this film was so enrapturing, I wanted to live it one more time. Amir and Hassan are played by two boy actors who are superb! The grown Amir lacked something for me in showing his change to the Amir he becomes. It was a little vague in showing the substantial change that must have come over Amir as he grew up.Otherwise, this film is perfection. I WILL own it.
