A gang of Afghan nomad children digs up old Soviet landmines and sells the explosives to children working in the Lapis Lazuli mines. Whilst another gang keeps a close eye on the caravans that smuggle the blue gems through the mountains of the Pamir range - when they are not chasing their dreams. In this documentary by director Pieter-Jan De Pue, documentary and fictional narratives merge to create a journey into beautiful yet war-torn Afghanistan. (OV with englisch subtitles)
