Synopsis "The sky of Afghanistan "

"I look at the sky, and I close my eyes, and my imagination begins to fly.The sky can be full of kites, I think, but also full of dreams. And my dream flies high, high up towards the stars. I’m a little Afghan girl who doesn’t stop dreaming. And my dream flies towards all of the regions, entering houses, in homes, in families, and in hearts.A little girl, a dream, a song for peace."

Sonja Wimmer
