520    In March 2001, the ruling Taliban destroyed the tallest stone statues in the world, the 'Buddhas of Bamiyan'. This film, shot over the course of a year, focuses on one of the refugees who now live among the ruins: an 8-year-old boy called Mir. Through Summer, Winter and Spring we follow Mir's life - the scrapes, the fun and the naughtiness - against the magnificent backdrop of Bamiyan and its ruined statues. His playground is the rubble and tunnels of the destroyed Buddhas, the shelled and burnt-out town bazaar, the orchard of the local militia. Through his eyes we see the destruction of the town, the ever-present militarization and the wary welcome given to the Americans. As Mir grows, the adults around him reveal what life has been like over the past two decades, when hundreds of thousands of children like Mir have been killed. Meanwhile, Mir hasn't got a clue about history but he knows how to have fun.
