AMIR, A TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY DECIDES TO PARTICIPATE AND WIN THE LOCAL KITE RACE JUST TO GET PRAISED FROM HIS FATHER. HIS LOYAL FRIEND HASAN PROMISES TO HELP HIM. BUT SOMETHING HAPPENS ON THE EVENING OF THE KITE RACE CHANGING THE LIVES OF BOTH FRIENDS. IN 1970, WHEN THE RUSSIAN ARMY INVADED AFGHANISTAN, AMIR S FAMILY HAD TO FLEE FROM THEIR COUNTRY. WHILE IN AMERICA, AMIR ALWAYS FELT THAT ONE DAY HE HAS TO GO BACK TO HIS HOMETOWN, THE PLACE FROM WHERE HE HAS HAD TO FLEE AWAY. HE KNEW THAT THE RICH LIFE IN THIS NEW WORLD WOULD NEVER GIVE HIM PUNISHMENT FOR THE DEEDS HE DID IN HIS PAST, THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
