The Swallows of Kabul

 This is where the animation is called "painterley" - it's a beautiful non-cartoonish style that works well for this fairly brutal story of life under the Taliban in Kabul for a few residents - it has its longeurs, and the ending feels a tad obvious a few minutes before it happens, seeking out a way to get an iota of happiness out of the grim material at the expense of credibility, but it certainly scores emotionally.
