...when the war started, and the rain of
bullets began, we ran into the mountains.
When we came back, there was
nothing but ashes and smoke.
He's fixed the house and lives there.
In my opinion, no one else
I agree.
You should have let me talk.
There's no use being polite.
When someone doesn't listen...
...there's no use arguing.
That's your philosophy.
What do you know about these people?
Nothing.
But that's enough to know
not to fight uselessly.
That's our house...
Kabul...
...or somewhere else.
If you want to run... Go.
I'll stay here until I get what's ours.
Name please?
Khak... Can you register my gun, please.
Thank you... May I go?
Please.
How is the market?
The prices have gone up a little.
A little? I heard the price
of metal has gone way up.
Is this the turret?
It doesn't matter.
It's some part of the monster.
I'm looking for a pair of earrings.
That's all we have.
Welcome to Plato's cave.
So is this the start of a revolution?
The first chink in the wall before it falls?
The wall will fall but are you
ready to see what's behind it?
I can't see.
Sit still or I'll stop the film.
I was ten when we went to Iran.
I grew up there and studied.
I never thought of coming back.
So why did you?
Loyalty to my family... and they
As painful as it was, I wasn't humiliated.
It wasn't my country.
I was only three when my family left.
We spoke Dari. The pictures
on our walls were from here.
Every New Year my mother
made rice and spinach.
And do you feel at home now?
No it's...
...this place is like something
from another age, so primitive.
It's not the primitiveness
- it's the ignorance.
What's the difference?
Whether you live in a tower or a cave...
...when you're living in ignorance...
...you're in the dark.
Yes but if you live in a tower...
...at least you're better informed.
How much?
A half dozen please.
It's not about being informed.
Knowledge comes from self-awareness.
One of my teachers used to say,
"to know oneself is to know God. "
I'm trying to know myself.
For years when I watched the news about
this place, I wanted to come and help.
Especially the women.
I don't like the men's attitudes here.
It's about time I do something about it.
So you think you'll have that chance now?
You know what, it tastes the same.
My father insists Afghan apples taste
better than the ones in Canada.
It seems everything I've been told
