Kabul—a city struggling to recover from 25 years of warfare. When taxi driver Khaled picks up a passenger with her baby, his life takes an unexpected turn. With the mother’s identity concealed behind a long blue burqa, she abandons her baby in the back seat of his car. Attempting to find the mother, Khaled goes to the local police office and to an orphanage, but is met with indifference and obstacles at every turn. Kabuli Kid is a wonderfully chaotic, often comic tale of daily life in Kabul. *Official selection, Toronto International Film Festival 2008
