The Swallows of Kabul (French: Les hirondelles de Kaboul) is a 2019 internationally co-produced adult animated psychological drama film[2] directed by Zabou Breitman and Eléa Gobé Mévellec.

Atiq, the director of the women's prison, is a veteran of the war against the Soviets and many of his former comrades have relocated to the Taliban officers and reproach him for his taciturn attitude.

In addition to the fact that this patriot does not recognize himself in the Taliban fight, he is recovering badly from a leg injury that causes him to limp and his wife, Mussarat, suffers from terminal cancer.

Mohsen then confessed to him that he had participated in the stoning, aggravating Zunaira's resentment, who refused to talk to him and punished him by imposing the burqa on himself at home: "I hate all men!"

Obsessed with his prisoner, whose frescoes of moving eroticism he will discover at the home deserted by the young couple, he sets out to save her at all costs.

His approach comes to the ears of Quassim who, anxious not to disappoint his own superiors and to offer - the meeting is organized in honor of a Pakistani delegation - a fine execution, instructs one of his henchmen to keep a close watch on Atiq and the prison.

Atiq for his part, whose sensitivity and lameness have made us forget that he was a tried and tested fighter, kills - with his bare hands - the armed Taliban in charge of monitoring him.

Mad with rage, he kills Atiq, who falls next to his sacrificed wife and rushes at the women present to tear off their burqas in the hope of finding the real condemned woman.
