未来的某一时间，蔚蓝绝美的地球突发异变。人类的贪得无厌让地球走向破败，沙漠、狂风、污染笼罩这里的每一个角落。植物、动物相继灭绝，愚蠢的人类成为荒芜星球之上最孤独的一群。在一座人类定居点里，少年赫尔墨斯张望着围墙外的荒野。他尝试追逐蓝色的羽毛，但不敢跨过全副武装的士兵的警戒线。他痴迷于书本上对曾经美好地球的描述，那根羽毛仿佛打开了少年心灵的闸门。傍晚时分，赫尔墨斯惊讶地见到一只蓝色小鸟。为了追逐这只神奇的生物，他不惜铤而走险跑出定居点。 　　他在逃跑，又或者是在寻找，寻找绝望尽头的幸福国……

The Nuer call themselves Naath. Only their immediate neighbors, the Dinka, Shilluk and Arabs, call them Nuer. Most foreigners, which includes those with whom the Nuer neither fought nor traded, are called Bar which means 'almost entirely cattleless'. Those foreigners who live even more remotely and include Europeans are called Jur which means 'entirely cattleless', a most unthinkable state indeed. 　　The people of Ciengach, where the film was made, are the Eastern Jikany, one of about a sixteen distinct tribes of Nuer. Twenty-five years ago E.E. Evans Pritchard estimated the total population of Nuer to be around a quarter of a million. Since then the number has undoubtedly dwindled considerably due to warfare, civil strife, sickness, drought and the general abandonment of traditional lifeways. 　　However, those who still called themselves Naath did so with an extraordinarily vivid image of themselves as superior people living a superior life. Furthermore, it was impossible not to see that their lives were inextricably tied to their herds. Ciengach is a perfected plan for co-posperity of cows and humans. 　　It cannot be said that filming the Nuer was an easy task, but visually it was always absorbing. They were seldom resentful as was the rule with the Islamicized Afar in the Danakil Desert to the Northeast. On the contrary, the Nuer had a real, even exaggerated, sense of their importance. They considered themselves handsome and displayed their elegance with pride. 　　Nuer existence has, consistent with life led on a flood plain, an almost tidal rhythm due largely to the movement of cattle into and out of the villages. At almost precisely 10:30 in the morning cows and bulls began to groan, stand up and in other ways indicate that the time had come for them to be released and on their way to graze. Within moments the entire herd was sounding a unified complaint. Men and boys then slipped the tethers from their necks and the flow of cattle began. Five more minutes and the village was virtually silent. The herd had receded toward the river and to whatever grass the younger men could find. So the days passed into twilights of returning herds and men and the nights were filled with stars and an almost intoxicating 'bucolia.'

埃尔文·隆美尔是二战中德国最负盛名的将领，也是希特勒最为宠爱的将领。稍对世界军事史有了解的人都会知道他那个著名的绰号——“沙漠之狐”。由于他在北非沙漠战场的一系列惊人战绩（隆美尔率领2个师的军队在北非仅仅用了2个星期就让英军之前2个月的战果丧失殆尽）和德国媒体和盟国媒体的疯狂宣传，他在世时就已成为一个具有传奇色彩的军人和德国人崇拜的偶像。 　　第二次世界大战爆发后，隆美尔作为德国最高统帅部的指挥官之一，受到希特勒的器重。1940年2月，希特勒任命他为第7装甲师师长，并赠给《我的奋斗》一书。5～6月间，在德军闪击西欧的侵略战争中，隆美尔指挥装甲第7师冲在最前面，先克比利时，接着是阿拉斯、索姆，最后直捣法国西海岸，被法国人称之为“魔鬼之师”。 　　1941年2月，希特勒又任命隆美尔为“德国非洲军”军长，前往北非援救一败涂地的意大利军队。他到达北非的黎波里前线后，立即作了一次侦察飞行，得出了“进攻就是最好的防守”的结论。于是他便改变“固守防线”的命令，指挥他的装甲部队冒着沙漠风暴勇猛穿插，全速前进。英军猝不及防，节节败退。德军直逼亚历山大和苏伊士。隆美尔因此名声大振，赢得了“沙漠之狐”的美名，并被晋升为元帅。后来，德军主力被牵制在苏德战场，希特勒不肯抽兵援助北非前线，致使隆美尔不得不停止进攻而在阿莱曼进行防守。 　　1942年11月，隆美尔以其仅有的5万军队和550辆坦克在阿莱曼地区抗击蒙哥马利的19.5万军队和1029辆坦克，终因寡不敌众而惨遭失败。1943年3月，隆美尔奉召回德国大本营。同年7月，调任驻北意大利的陆军“B”集团军群司令。1943年12月至1944年7月，他率陆军“B”集团军群在法国组织防御，指挥抵抗诺曼底登陆战役。随后，德国发生了行刺希特勒未遂事件，隆美尔株连其中。1944年10月14日，由于希特勒派人逼迫，他在一辆小轿车中服毒自尽，而对外宣布的消息，则是“隆美尔陆军元帅在途中中风去世”。

He finds good friend in Mini, daughter of a writer. But Mini's mother does not like their friendship. In between Kabuliwala gets involved in a murder case and ends up in jail. When he comes back from jail, first thing he does is to try to meet Mini. But Mini was getting married that day. Meeting a criminal on that day may not be good for her, thinks her father.

这部电影改编自拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔的短篇小说《喀布尔人》（1892年）。这是一个阿富汗中年男子拉曼的故事，故事发生在1965年繁华的加尔各答市，他对一个小女孩敏妮充满了父爱。这部电影敏锐地捕捉到了一段温暖人心的关系的本质，以及超越国界、宗教和文化的关于爱的深刻意义。
