Synopsis
Parvana est une jeune fille vivant à Kaboul en Afghanistan, contrôlé par les talibans. Son père, Nurullah, autrefois enseignant, est amputé de la jambe droite, conséquence de la Guerre d'Afghanistan, ce qui le force à devenir colporteur afin de subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. À la suite d'une altercation avec l'un de ses anciens étudiants, Idrees, à qui il refuse la main de sa fille sous prétexte qu'elle est déjà fiancée (ce qui est faux), il se fait injustement emprisonner, laissant la famille en détresse car il est le seul homme adulte encore en vie, le fils aîné Sulayman étant mort quelques années plus tôt. Parvana se retrouve donc seule avec sa mère Fattema, sa sœur aînée Soraya et son petit frère Zaki. Puisque les femmes ont l'interdiction de sortir sans leur mari, leur père ou leur frère, la famille se retrouve isolée, sans nouvelles de Nurullah. Après que sa mère soit revenue battue car elle était sortie sans être accompagnée d'un homme de sa famille pour retrouver son mari et que Parvana ait tenté, sans succès, d'acheter de la nourriture au marché, elle décide de se couper les cheveux et de se vêtir en homme. Elle se fait donc passer pour le neveu de son père et prend comme nom « Aatish » afin de pouvoir subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. Le soir, lorsqu'elle rentre, elle divertit son jeune frère en lui inventant une histoire dans laquelle un jeune garçon part affronter le roi éléphant afin de reprendre les graines qu'il a volées.Actors

Le fait débute par un rappel historique. Il évoque les controverses liées au Général William Mitchell, pionnier de l'aviation militaire entre 1919 et 1936, année de sa mort. Il militait pour le développement d'une aviation ayant des bombardiers, mais sa hiérarchie croyait en la supériorité de la marine de guerre. En 1925, il fut même rétrogradé comme colonel.
