Pretty good. Wajma is an even better Afghan film. Atiq Rahimi has gone on to make Our Lady of the Nile, an adaption of Scholastique Mukasonga's novel of the same name that uses a girls' boarding school as a microcosm in which to foretell the events of the Rwandan genocide; it's interesting and worthwhile, though Kinyarwanda is rather better.
