Kabul, August 15, 2021. Amidst the withdrawal of American troops, the Taliban enter the city. The Nazany family, like many civilians, has no choice but to leave the country for fear of retaliation. The country is in turmoil, and the threat of an attack by the Islamic State looms large. French policemen, Italian diplomats, German soldiers and the American secret service all must coordinate their efforts to control the influx of civilians. How can each of them save their own life? The countdown begins.

Our take

A tense drama recounting the seizure of Kabul by the Taliban, this prestigious coproduction involving 11 European countries impresses with its use of intersecting narratives. A poignant series worthy of its subject, with an international cast including Eric Dane (Euphoria), Jonathan Zaccai (The Bureau), Shervin Alenabi (Tehran) and Darina Al Joundi (Skies of Lebanon).
