An ex-soldier returns to Afghanistan to find the family of a civilian he accidentally killed during the war.

Shot in Afghanistan, director Benjamin Gilmour filmed in Taliban-controlled regions of Afghanistan, using some non-actors, a few being former members of the Taliban itself. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**.
