When Amir is 12 years old, the moment unfolds where he can win his Baba's heart and become the 'worthy' son, the only moment he's ever been waiting for. But the moment comes with a big price to pay and Amir has to make a decision. It's the decision he makes that shapes his life and the life of his childhood friend, Hassan, forever. 

Kite Runner is a story about friendship, loyalty, mistakes, betrayals, regrets, and atonement. It's about relationships and their complexities. It brings in light the intricate emotions of a child that often go unnoticed and unattended. How a child's innocence is adulterated with  expectations, negligence and often the deeds of the people around them. It's about the power of a decision. The power of regret and guilt. The power of redemption.
