Afghanistan, 2014: cousins Adil and Shafi are 12 and 14. They try to lead a normal childhood despite the suicide attacks that regularly make their daily lives a blood-spattered experience. But when Adil’s father dies, his life changes. His uncle Kunzar, a religious fundamentalist, sends him to a Koranic school. There, Adil learns how to use a gun, preparing to die as a martyr. On the day of the bombing, the detonator in his explosive belt jams. He must now flee the country to escape death. He sets out with his cousin Shafi to find the Shafi’s brother, who lives in England.
