    • Synopsis
    • At age fourteen, Tajamul fled from Afghanistan, to come all the way to the city of Amiens, in France. Now that he is twenty years old, he wants to make the journey backwards with his adoptive father, and tell his story for all the refugees who cannot speak anymore. Through Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Greece, Turkey and Iran, he will talk to us, show places that are important to him, put words on wounds. Tajamul's Words is the portrait of a young man of today, who had to leave his native land, and who carries on his shoulders what could be the chaos of the world.
