塔利班残酷统治下的阿富汗,平民百姓尤其是女性过着水深火热犹如地狱一般的生活。倔强的小女孩帕瓦娜(莎拉·乔德利 Saara Chaudry 配音)随父亲(Ali Rizvi Badshah 配音)外出挣钱养家,不仅目睹了父亲被昔日的学生辱骂羞辱,更和家人目击了父亲遭到非法逮捕的一幕。家中有病弱的母亲、成年的姐姐以及嗷嗷待哺的弟弟,年幼的帕瓦娜只能剪去秀发,伪装成男孩走出家门,踏上生死未卜的养家之路。在此过程中,她遇到了同样扮成男孩的昔日伙伴,也与一名沉默魁梧的塔利班分子成为朋友。当战争的阴影再度逼近时,帕瓦娜想方设法要找到下落不明的父亲,将他带回家中…… 本片根据黛博拉·艾里斯的同名小说改编。From executive producer Angelina Jolie and the creators of the Academy Award nominated The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, comes the highly-anticipated new feature based on Deborah Ellis' bestselling novel. Parvana is an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom-and danger. With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents, as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family. Equal parts thrilling and enchanting, The Breadwinner is an inspiring and luminously animated tale about the power of stories to sustain hope and carry us through dark times.
