On August 14, 2021, tension fills the air in Kabul as news spreads that the Taliban are approaching the city. Inside the French embassy, urgent preparations begin for a possible evacuation, as diplomats and staff realize that the situation is rapidly becoming unstable. What was expected to be a carefully organized departure quickly turns into a race against time when Kabul suddenly collapses the following day. With the city falling into confusion and uncertainty, carefully planned procedures no longer work. Diplomats and security personnel from several countries including France, Italy, Germany, and the United States must quickly adapt to the rapidly changing circumstances. Working together with limited time and resources, they attempt to organize the evacuation of hundreds of Afghan civilians and refugees who are desperate to escape. As fear and chaos spread through the streets of Kabul, crowds rush toward the airport in hopes of finding a way out. For many Afghans caught in the middle of the crisis, the options become painfully clear. They must either submit to the new reality or risk everything in a dangerous attempt to flee their homeland.
