The young men of Afghanistan have discovered the art of bodybuilding. In a country ravished by war, these men still hold on to their dreams; dreams of muscle, honour and fame - absolute control of the body in a world of chaos. »Afghan Muscles« is a story about dreams. The dreams we all share, dreams that are never the same. From the rubbles of Kabul to the skyline of Dubai we follow Hamid on a great journey, that will take him across mountains and through a struggle to honour both his own dreams and his father's aspirations.
