In 2000, in California, USA, the renowned writer Amir, an Afghan (played by Khalid Abdalla), receives a phone call that takes him back to his childhood... In 1978, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Amir (played by Zekiria Ebrahimi) is the son of a wealthy family, and Hassan (played by Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada), the son of his servant Ali, is his loyal companion and playmate. The two participate in a traditional kite-fighting competition, and Amir experiences something unforgettable that changes their destinies: Ali and Hassan leave Amir's family, with no word from them; as the Afghan War breaks out, Amir and his father immigrate to the United States, starting a new life. The phone call is from Amir's father's old friend, Rahim (played by Khan Shaun Toub), who hopes that Amir can go to Afghanistan to find Hassan's son, Sohrab (played by Ali Danish Bakhty Ari). What awaits Amir is not only a war-torn homeland and painful memories, but also an unspeakable secret.
