In a city where everyone wants to escape, he chose to stay.
Kabul, 2021.
Humphrey is a foreign cook with a past he prefers to forget and a restaurant that has become a haven for the desperate. Amina is a young widow, quiet but strong, marked by war and loss. Together, they discover that amid explosions, curfews, and Taliban suspicion, hope, friendship, and courage can still take root.
Inspired by real events and echoing the spirit of Casablanca, Once Upon a Time in Kabul is a story about sacrifice, silent heroes, and the power of doing good when no one is watching. Intimate and powerful, it reminds us that sometimes, the most heroic acts happen behind the kitchen door.
