The Breadwinner tells the story of Parvana, an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana disguises herself as a boy in order to support her family. With dauntless perseverance, Parvana draws strength from the stories her father told her, and ultimately risks her life to discover if he is still alive. Equal parts thrilling and enchanting, The Breadwinner is a timely and inspiring tale about the transcendent power of stories, and their potential to unite and heal us all. (StudioCanal UK)

At first glance, this is not a very remarkable picture, even though it has obviously made it into worldwide cinema distribution. On closer inspection, it is a classic story about an outsider who stands out and tries to fit in, even though they are very unique. And in the end, they succeed beautifully. Thanks to that, the picture gains sympathy.
