| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
"There is a way to be good again."
Based one on of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory,
The Kite Runner is a profoundly emotional tale of friendship,
family, devastating mistakes and redeeming love. In a divided
country on the verge of war, two childhood friends, Amir and
Hassan, are about to be torn apart forever. It's a glorious
afternoon in Kabul and the skies are bursting with the exhilarating
joy of a kite-fighting tournament. But in the aftermath of
the day's victory, one boy's fearful act of betrayal will
mark their lives forever and set in motion an epic quest for
redemption.
Now, after 20 years of living in America, Amir returns to
a perilous Afghanistan under the Taliban's iron-fisted rule
to face the secrets that still haunt him and take one last
daring chance to set things right. Golden Globe-nominated
director Marc Forster (Stranger Than Fiction, Finding Neverland
and Monster's Ball) brings to life Khaled Hosseini's bestseller
with a globally diverse cast and crew, mixing a remarkable
group of non-actors from Afghanistan and Central Asia with
an accomplished international cast. The result is a journey
into a new world - through a universal human story that speaks
to anyone who has ever yearned for a second chance to make
a change and find forgiveness.
