The magician of Kabul is Japanese, a man who learned magic to brighten the faces of children in Afghanistan and the United States. Here, magic is the universal code, a bridge between peoples that breaks down the borders of language. The magician dreams of building an elementary school in Kabul in memory of his son who died in one of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. A school and magic tricks to cross the gap between generations and the great divide of death, with the son who had been so far away, and who he is coming to know through the stories of people who were close to him in New York. By following the path of one man rebuilding his life, Philippe Baylaucq depicts all of humanity standing together. A message of hope that will touch you to the core.
