Based on Khaled Hosseini's novel 'The Kite Runner' evocative saga is about two childhood friends – one friend's search for his friend's son, taken captive by terrorists.
A key difference from the original novel is the setting of this extraordinary tale, which is set against the backdrop of a fictitious place called Ishanpur, where is the language that is spoken is called Ishania, and since it's a fictitious language subtitles are available for the entire length of the film. Otherwise, it is a heart touching tale of redemption in which a coward works through his weaknesses and emerges a hero.
