When Ashkan took the red clay,
the village children
would run to his workshop.
The stone wheel spun round and round
at a steady pace,
and he made magnificent pottery.
The children would shout,
"He's a magician!"
And Ashkan also had a donkey,
a beautiful gray donkey,
which he rode to Kabul to sell his pottery,
which was famous throughout the East.
- You OK? - My head hurts.
We have to save some... We only have one left.
Come on, let's find some shade.
Thank you.
Come on.
- Can my daughter sit with you? - Of course.
We can't stay here indefinitely.
I need to call my father, he'll help us.
Don't leave me all alone.
I won't be long, you need to stay in the shade.
Don't move, Nooria.
You promise you will not leave me alone?
Don't move under any circumstances. Promise?
- How many men we have? - Some are coming from Nangarhar.
- Get down! - Cover me!
- Go, go, go! - Man down!
Take cover! Stay behind me, Ainullah!
Cover me!
Go! Fast!
Get in!
Save yourself!
Ainullah, what are you doing?
Come on!
They are coming in!
What do you want from here? Leave us!
Infidels!
Leave us!
Get the hell out of our country.
Please, I need to use a phone for just a minute,
I'm here with a little girl...
Cell phones, here, are even more precious than water.
Let's go.
Excuse me...
- Please could I use your phone? - No, sorry.
Hello Ma'am, can I borrow your phone for a second?
I'm sorry, my battery is at three percent.
I understand, thanks.
Where are you going?
Zahara, where are you going?
Zahara!
Hello Sir, can I borrow your phone for just a minute?
Do you have any water?
- Not much. - I haven't been able to drink for 24h.
If you give me water, I'll lend you my phone.
- Dad? - Amina!
Thank God!
- Where are you? - I'm in front of the airport.
Where are you exactly?
There's a big red container.
- We're not far from a gate, I think. - Which gate?
I don't know.
- Sir, which gate is this? - Abbey Gate.
Abbey Gate, Dad.
Abbey Gate.
OK, don't move. I'm coming to get you.
Can I reach you at this number?
No, I borrowed it from someone.
- My phone is out of battery. - OK.
Abbey Gate, red container.
I'll be there as fast as I can. Don't move.
OK Dad. I'll wait for you.
I will be there.
Zahara!
- Amina is at one of the airport gates. - Thank God!
I have to get her through security.
But it's madness out there!
How will you even find her?
She found a phone,
we set a meeting point, she's waiting for me.
- I'm coming with you. - No way.
You get on that plane, we'll take the next one.
Baqir, I can't do that.
Did you hear what the French said? You're in danger.
The Taliban could decide to take the airport.
You need to get to safety.
Baqir...
Can you just do what I say for once?
I'll keep our daughter safe, I promise.
Trust me, everything will be OK.
I won't be able to manage without you...
Of course you will.
Go!
- Go. Let's call each other. - Baqir.
In the name of Allah the Most Merciful,
on this blessed day, we will strike down
apostates and infidels who want to leave our country
along with Western traitors.
- Leave here! - Quick! Go!
Did you see the young girl who was with me before?
There was a lot of commotion, the Taliban arrived, run away!
- Leave! - My bag!
Nooria!
Excuse me, I'm looking for a little girl. Her name is Nooria.
Terrorists from ISIS are going to attack the airport. I should go.
- No! - I have to go.
We can't stay here!
Nooria!
There's no water, no food, no drink.
There's no one to help us.
- Father? Mother? - No.
- You don't remember where you were? - No.
Do you know what your parents were wearing?
There she is!
That's my mother!
My mother.
Shut up, you shameless bastard.
Go to hell, you infidel dog!
Opium will help your friend.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Amina!
Nooria!
Hello, did you happen to see this young woman?
- It's my daughter, Amina. - No.
Hello, did you happen to see this young woman?
Nooria!

No, I haven't.
- Could I use your phone? - Sorry, no.
Amina!
- Amina! Amina! - Nooria! You're here!
- That's my mother! - Are you her mother?
Yes. Where were you?
- Is she your mother? - Yes.
Where were you?
- Are you OK? - Yes.
Where were you?
It's my daughter, have you seen her?
- I saw her before... - Where?
