Based on the life (diary entries) of her close friend and collaborator Anwar Hashimi, Wolf and Sheep, the directorial debut of Shahrbanoo Sadat, is a slice of life set within a remote shepherd community in central Afghanistan. With little to no conventional plot, it feels closer to a documentary. The audience and perhaps even the director herself, are mere observers; they are there silently watching the seemingly mundane lives of shepherd children day after day, as seen by the bushes on the slope or the mountains. It gives a rare peek into rural Afghan life, capturing a fragile world tucked…
In rural Afghanistan, people are storytellers who make up and tell each other tales of mystery and imagination to explain the world in which they live. The shepherd children own the mountains and, although no adults are around, they know the rules; they know that boys and girls are not allowed to be together. The boys practice with their slings to fight wolves. The girls smoke secretly and play at getting married, dreaming of finding a husband soon. They gossip about Sediqa; she’s eleven years old and an outsider. The girls think she is cursed. Qodrat, also eleven years old, becomes the subject of gossip when his mother remarries an old man with two wives. Qodrat roams alone in the most isolated parts of the mountains, where he meets Sediqa and they become friends.
