Afshin a 12-year old boy and his younger brother Benjamin live with their family on the hillside of the Chil Dokhtaran mountains of Kabul. Growing up next to a city full of bombs and sirens, violence has become a part of their innocence, and the graveyard their playground. Abbas, a bus driver with a dual personality, survives the city by weaving a skein of truth and lies. Their stories create a symphonic portrait of Kabul, its mix of religion and politics.
