Parwareshgah

The Orphanage

@The Orphanage@ surveys war-torn Afghanistan through teenage eyes, assessing the daily impact of the country’s prolonged unrest. In her sophomore feature, Afghan writer/director Shahrbanoo Sadat combines the bleak reality of life during the civil war of 1989–1992, the daily routines weathered by anxious boys, and flights into Bollywood fantasy, crafting an empathetic and assured follow-up to 2016 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Art Cinema Award-winner @Wolf and Sheep@ which also continues to interrogate the feeling of being swept away by someone else’s struggle. (Sarah Ward, Screen)
