Our TableTable

The outside of the restaurant was very typical, but very nice looking. There were two, maybe three, benches outside for people to sit on in the nice weather if they decided to, and I pointed out to my mom that it looked like a restaurant you'd see abroad. I'm not actually sure why ...

Advantages: It's an interesting story... Disadvantages: It's melodramatic, dull, poorly acted by the leads and clumsy.
Amir and Hassan are two young boys growing up in pre-Taliban Afghanistan. They are from different social classes but are great friends. But after an afternoon at a kite-flying competition, one boy's act of betrayal will have a profound effect on both of their lives. Twenty years later, Amir, now a published author living in America, travels back to his homeland in search of his childhood friend's son. Under the iron rule of the Taliban, his journey is fraught with danger, but it is the only way he can face the past that still haunts him and set things right.
