Beautifully marked by swathes of gentle watercolour and accompanied by a hauntingly affecting soundscape, the illustrated characters express an intricate spectrum of emotions, lending the film a unique tenderness rarely seen. Based on Algerian author Yasmina Khadra's novel of the same name, The Swallows of Kabul draws the audience in, like moths to a flame.
