Warning: Spoilers
The movie brings out how's like to be a young woman in Afghanistan when their world is completely dominated by Taliban rules. The main message adresses implicitly gender rules and woman rights to work surrounded by a state of violence, misogyny and intolerance through a micro situation and an innocent point of view. This is a very interesting aspect that you realize by watching a foreign movie, when you can understand other lives and see that there are different places, people with their own social dilemmas, way bigger than our ubiquitous drama, and all that is often ignored comes out of the dark, veering your thoughts to the direction of comprehending society, values and singularities when it comes to dominance and subjectivity control. Adding to that, its brilliant ending holds the attention to the unexpected, whether it is going to be a happy or a devastating outcome to the main character, and then, as it was surprisingly obvious, you get a real end. This is an amazing movie from a country that I didn't expect to produce such an intense piece of work, and that allowed me to think about many aspects outside my bubble.
