Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite fighting tournament, to prove that he has the making of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promised to help him, for he always help Amir. But this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low case servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart.
