Mohammad “Mo” Bida (Roschdy Zem) is tasked by the French Ambassador to Afghanistan with securing the French Embassy in Kabul after evacuation orders are issued amid the Taliban’s rapid takeover. To facilitate communications, Commander Mo Bida enlists the help of Eva (Lyna Khoudri), an Afghan aid worker fluent in French. The situation turns increasingly dire as 500 civilians and political refugees flood into the embassy, pleading to be airlifted out of Kabul. Mo Bida and Eva must lead the 500 people to the airport, navigating blockades while guarding against possible betrayal by Afghan military elements and Taliban officials.
