Barmak Akram : 2012
A young man in Kabul seduces a girl. She gives him her virginity, convinced that he will marry her. When she tells him that she is pregnant, he hesitates, he moves backwards, he questions having taken her virginity. Is it due to a lack of experience? Is he just a coward? He pretends that he is not certain he can be the father. Then another story begins, unexpected and scaring. It's like a veil that tears. The girl's father arrives and a timeless, archaic violence erupts, old terrors reappear that could lead to a crime, and even to a sacrifice. Barmak Akram's award-winning second feature premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2013.
