"Încep cronica printr-o mărturisire: am vrut să văd filmul ăsta (care va ieși abia pe 30 noiembrie) al Ancăi Damian (pe un scenariu scris împreună cu Lia Bugnar) nu pentru că a primit premiul de regie (total meritat, cum aveam să descopăr rapid) la festivalul de la Varșovia și încă un premiu la Madrid, ci pentru că are Kabul în titlu și citisem că prima parte se petrece în Afganistan."

Género animado para una terrible historia real. Un impresionante artwork que funciona a modo de collage sensitivo que estalla con toda su fuerza expresiva para narrar de forma original esta historia que va más allá de la crónica de sucesos, del escándalo político y gubernamental para instalarse en el terreno del intimismo.
