- Summary:
- When the Soviet army arrives in Afghanistan, the elderly Dastaguir witnesses the destruction of his village. He and his grandson set out through an unforgiving landscape, searching for the coal mine where the old man's son works. Haunting in its spareness, "Earth and Ashes" is a tale of devastating loss, but also of human perseverance in the face of madness and war.
