The Orphanage

In early-1990s Kabul, a teenage ticket seller is sent to a Soviet-run orphanage after a dangerous mistake. There, he finds friendship, romance, mischief, and adventure, while the city outside changes dramatically as civil war begins to threaten the familiar world he once knew.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like youthful historical dramas with musical touches, changing political worlds, and bittersweet adventure; Not for you if you want a light story without serious conflict.
