518    Originally produced as an Afghani motion picture in 2003. 
520    This meticulous inquiry into the ways that ideological 
       evil can infect, and ultimately destroy, the intimacies 
       and small pleasures of daily life is beautiful, thoughtful,
       and almost unbearably sad.  A widowed grandmother, mother,
       and daughter are facing starvation.  Since the foreign 
       doctors have been driven away, the mother's employment at 
       the hospital ends.  Thus the young daughter, at the risk 
       of being discovered and killed, masquerades as a boy in 
       order to earn money--a necessity since they cannot leave 
       the house without a male escort.  Snatched away from her 
       job and sent to be indoctrinated by the Taliban, it is 
       just a matter of time before she is given away.  The 
       Taliban's obscene wish for a world where the stringent 
       enforcement of religious laws takes the place of human 
       kindness is on full display, and as they employ their 
       sadistic holy laws in the name of God, the only human 
       response is horror.
