Kabul

August 15, 2021, Kabul falls to the Taliban. An Afghan family must choose to leave or stay, while the French embassy remains open, Giovanni, an Italian diplomat, faces the flight of his ambassador, and Vera, a member of the German secret service, hopes to return to Kabul to save an Afghan general she once knew.
