Nora Twomey's 2017 film The Breadwinner is a deeply moving and powerful animation based on Deborah Ellis's book of the same name. This film is part of the Irish studio Cartoon Saloon's acclaimed works and tells the story of a girl who fights in a cruel and oppressive world. Twomey has created a visually stunning and emotionally impactful work that deals with women's rights, freedom, and the triumph of humanity under oppression. The Breadwinner is a film that resonates with audiences worldwide due to its strong themes and breathtaking artistic style.
The story is set in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where 11-year-old Parvana lives with her family. When her father is unjustly imprisoned, the family faces a struggle to survive in a society where women are not allowed to work or leave the house without a male escort. Parvana gathers her courage and decides to change her appearance, disguising herself as a boy to become the family's breadwinner. Throughout the film, Parvana faces many challenges, but she finds strength in stories and imagination, helping her maintain hope and dignity even in the darkest moments.
The Breadwinner is significant in the context of modern animation because it highlights serious and topical issues that are usually addressed in live-action films but rarely in animation. Twomey has created an emotional and visual masterpiece that has gained recognition worldwide, including an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. The Breadwinner is a story of courageous resistance and the resilience of the human spirit, remembered for its deep message and beautiful aesthetics.
