In this True Stories film, globe-trotting photographer Nick Danzinger embarks on his most dangerous mission yet – to rescue and adopt three war orphans from Afghanistan. <br/> To a confirmed bachelor who considers himself rootless and stateless, rescuing the children proves to be the easy part. Suddenly Nick is faced with the problems of buying underwear for two girls and dealing with a love-sick 13-year-old boy. Other more serious problems also emerge as Khadija, 13, battles with English and Satar struggles with polio. Devout Muslims, the children are also disturbed by topless sunbathers, the weather forecast – and Nick’s marital status. True Stories follows the family through the first difficult – but ultimately rewarding – year.
