I gcomhair Sheachtain na Gaeilge taispeánfar an beochan fada is déanaí ón stiúideo Éireannach Cartoon Salon. Tá an scéal suite in 2001 in Cabúl atá faoi smacht an Talaban, agus insíonn sé scéal Parvana, cailín aon bhliain déag d’aois, a ligeann uirthi gur buachaill í le soláthar dá teaghlach agus le hiarracht a dhéanamh saol a athar a shábháil. Ar an tslí, buaileann sí le cailín eile i mbréagríocht agus le chéile, ag tarraingt ar chumhacht na scéalaíochta, tagann siad ar an neart agus ar an misneach chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar fhírinne uafásach an chogaidh atá rompu.
