It is a glorious afternoon in 1970s’ Kabul and the young Amir has just won a kite-fighting tournament. A fearful act of betrayal is about to tear apart his friendship with Hassan. Twenty years later, Amir is a successful writer living in America. He is so haunted by the past that he returns to Afghanistan under the iron rule of the Taliban. Here he must confront the secrets from his childhood on his quest to set things right. Based on a critically acclaimed novel, the Kite Runner is a moving tale of friendship, family and redemption.
