Inside Kabul

Synopsis

In the summer of 2021, the Taliban return to power in Afghanistan and the destinies of two young women, Raha and Marwa, tilt. Inside Kabul is based on the hundreds of voice notes they exchanged with journalist Caroline Gillet in the months that followed. Raha has chosen to stay in Kabul; she is confronted with the violence of the regime and the crisis into which the country is gradually sinking. Marwa has left and finds herself locked up in a refugee camp in Abu Dhabi, where she waits week after week to be welcomed somewhere in Europe or the United States. For them, the questions that are those of all young women of their age, are asked with a singular sharpness: how to grow up and project oneself towards the future when you are 20 years old and the world one has known is collapsing?
