[Venice '25] From the perspective of a young Taliban soldier, his daily life is framed by religious indoctrination, praying and surrendering to the possibility of martyrdom, like a suicide who achieves enlightenment through sacrifice. But it is above all his relationship with his younger brother, Rafi, age 14, that presents a perverse reflection of childhood brainwashing. We can understand Samim's radicalization through the description of Rafi's daily life, constantly subjected to narratives of violence and a religious doctrine based on destruction and sacrifice. The film explores the essence of fanaticism.
