Kandahar (alternatively titled Safar e Ghandehar and The Sun Behind the Moon) is a 2001 film by Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, set in Afghanistan during the rule of the Taliban. The film tells the story (partly true, partly fictionalized) of a successful Afghan refugee (played by Nelofer Pazira) in Canada who returns to Afghanistan after receiving a letter from her sister, who was left behind when the family escaped, that she plans on committing suicide on the last solar eclipse of the millennium.
