Synopsis
Set in Kabul in 1992, during the collapse of the Soviet-backed regime and the advance of the Mujahideen, The Postman tells the story of Amir, a postman whose teenage son is killed in a rocket attack. His wife, Nazira, subsequently retreats into silence, and the family begins to fall apart. For Amir, delivering the mail becomes the last remaining fragment of normality. As the political situation deteriorates, even his daily rounds become increasingly dangerous. Through the postman's encounters with the people whose homes he visits, the film portrays a society confronted with death, loss and uncertainty, but also with moments of consolation.
