Synopsis

Parvana is an 11-year-old girl who lives under Taliban rule in Afghanistan in 2001. After the wrongful arrest of her father, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy to support her family. Working alongside a friend, she soon discovers a new world of freedom and danger.

MUBI's take

Based on Deborah Ellis’s best-selling book, Nora Twomey’s Oscar®-nominated adaptation tugs at the heartstrings with its luminous animation and defiantly feminist message. In the face of extremism, The Breadwinner celebrates the courage of Afghan teenage girls and the healing power of storytelling.
