does anyone have any idea what year it is set? it can't be set in 2001-i remember hearing a background conversation which weant "Mazari Sherif Has fallen to the Taliban" so what year was that? Baran was fourteen!
Do I look as if I care?

the year of the Movie's setting is 1998-because it says that Mazar-e-Sharif has fallen, and that occured in 1998. Baran is a Hazara (she has Oriental feautures). she was fourteen. which means that she was born in 1984.
so now we know.
Mazār-e Sharīf , also known as Mazar-e-Sharif, Mazar-i Sharif and Mazar-i-Sharif (in Persian مزار شریف), is the biggest city in northern Afghanistan and the capital of Balkh province. The dominant language in the city is Dari. The city is significant to local Shi'ite Muslims. The population is 183,000 (2002 official estimate).

Mazar-e Sharif remained a stronghold of opposition groups (notably the Uzbek-Afghan leader Abdul Rashid Dostum, and those who followed) for several years after the Taliban took control of much of Afghanistan. Between May and July 1997 the Taliban unsuccessfully attempted to take control of the city until August 8, 1998, reportedly leading to a six-day killing frenzy of Hazaras and other locals.

On November 9, 2001 the city was recaptured by the Afghan Northern Alliance after heavy battles with help from the United States. An alleged massacre of Taliban soldiers by US allies is said to have taken place near the city.
