Parvana tiene once años y vive con su familia en una sola habitación de un edificio bombardeado en Kabul, Afganistán, bajo el régimen talibán. Cuando su padre es arrestado repentinamente, la familia pierde su único ingreso y enfrenta un hambre desesperante. Como a las niñas se les prohíbe trabajar o incluso salir sin un acompañante masculino, Parvana debe cortarse el cabello, vestirse de niño y convertirse en el sostén de su familia. Su valentía se pone a prueba a diario mientras recorre una ciudad peligrosa para mantener con vida a los suyos. Una historia poderosa sobre la supervivencia, el sacrificio y la fuerza que se encuentra en los lugares más inesperados.

English Translation

The Breadwinner

Parvana is an 11-year-old girl living with her family in a single bombed-out room in Kabul, Afghanistan, during Taliban rule. When her father is suddenly arrested, the family loses its only income and faces desperate hunger. Because girls are forbidden to work or even leave home without a male escort, Parvana must cut her hair, dress as a boy, and become the family's sole breadwinner. Her courage and resourcefulness are tested daily as she navigates a dangerous city to keep her loved ones alive. A powerful story of survival, sacrifice, and the strength found in unlikely places.
