- Synopsis:
When the Soviet army arrives in Afghanistan, the elderly Dastaguir (Abdul Ghani) witnesses the destruction of his village and the death of his clan. His young grandson Yassin (Jawan Mard Homayoun), deaf from the sounds of the bombing, is one of the few survivors. The two set out through an unforgiving landscape, searching for the coal mine where Murad, the old man's son and the boy's father, works. They reach their destination only to learn that they must wait and rely for help on all that remains to them: a box of chewing tobacco, some unripe apples, and the kindness of strangers. Haunting in its spareness, 'Earth and Ashes' is a tale of devastating loss, but also of human perseverance in the face of madness and war. - Actors:
