Why we chose it

No other film has been nominated for Oscars in animation, documentary and international feature at once. Director Jonas Poher Rasmussen and Amin, an Afghan, met as teenagers in a small Danish town. Years later Amin opens up about his past but won’t show his face, so the whole story is animated.

Synopsis

In present-day Copenhagen, Amin Nawabi, an academic in his thirties who came from Afghanistan, is getting ready to marry his partner. Nobody knows how he really reached Denmark, not even the man he’s about to marry. He agrees to tell an old friend the story of his journey, which begins in Kabul, where a family has to leave its whole world behind.
