Roberto Antonini and Philippe Blanc bear witness to the last days of Kabul before the city fell to the Taliban on August 15, 2021. Journalists, nurses, a little girl who was the victim of an attack in her school, and others tell their stories. Voices, sounds, and an original score composed to convey the feelings of those days transport us to the Afghan capital.
