Amir spends his childhood in Kabul, playing in the garden with Hassan, the son of the Hazara servant. Together they climb the hill to the pomegranate tree and read stories in its shade, or go fly kites in the streets. But this is 1970s Afghanistan before the Russian tanks rolled in and before the day of the kite fighting tournament, the day that changed Amir's life forever.
