              Kabul Between Prayers

              Aboozar Amini / Belgium & Netherlands / 2025 / 112 min

              A young Taliban fighter turns out to be a complex individual, but inherited ideologies weigh heavily in a lavishly cinematic film by an Afghan CPH:DOX winner.

              Afghan director Aboozar Amini won the Next:Wave award at CPH:DOX for his debut film ‘Kabul, City in the Wind’. The follow-up delivers everything the debut film promised. On a sun-baked hilltop with a destroyed Kabul in the background, Samim stands and carefully assembles his machine gun before reciting a tearful prayer to Allah and wishing Sharia law for the whole world. The lavishly cinematic ‘Kabul Between Prayers’ opens with the archetype of the fanatical Taliban warrior, but Amini spends the rest of his film digging into the man behind the mask. 

              Samin is fanatical, but he is also insecure, caring, vain, dreamy, a good colleague, and a protective brother. In particular, his relationship with his younger brother, who is 10 years his junior, is a sincere portrayal of an innocent childhood, where political indoctrination takes root early on, alongside first love. The film paints an unbiased and thoroughly humanistic portrait of a ravaged country and a young generation weighed down by inherited ideologies.
