August 2021. As the Taliban move to reclaim Kabul, Commander Mohamed Bida is ordered to evacuate French citizens along with those seeking asylum in France. Martin Bourboulon recreates the events behind the images that went around the world, using the bold artistry that defines his work. Through precise reenactments and large-scale crowd scenes, the film approaches the realism of docu-fiction. Roschdy Zem gives a powerful performance as the commander whose memoir inspired the story, while Lyna Khoudri shines as a sharp and determined translator. This is a film about courage, duty, and human dignity.
