[edit] Information

"In the ruined city of Kabul, during the time of Taliban rule, a former Mujaheddin soldier noticed a pretty Tajik girl with one leg and began to court her. This was the beginning on an unlikely love story. Part essay and part observational film, this is an anti-war film set in a country that has become synonymous with warfare. Shah and Habiba are "flowers from the same garden" - both victims of the many land mines left behind in Afghanistan. While Shah tries to find work as a cobbler, Habiba is reduced to begging for charity on the streets of Kabul to feed their three children. Following Habiba's progress is the unflinching camera of award-winning filmmaker, Dennis O'Rourke. From the war-ravaged streets to the classrooms where the lesson is how to identify land mines and cluster bombs, this is a remarkable personal story of a mother's love in the face of one of the world's most dangerous and indiscriminate weapons."
