剧情：《我们剩下的未完成》的是1978年至1992年期间拍摄的五部从未完成的电影，这些电影都是在阿富汗执政的各种共产主义政权的背景下拍摄的。这些电影中的场景，其中一些后来在其他作品中重复使用，由参与制作的电影制作人和演员将它们的位置和评论与当前的影片一起编辑，使我们能够深入到动作片和围绕当地历史和冲突的浪漫剧中。通过与电影制片人的交谈，玛丽安·加尼重塑了他们在面对审查和危险时如何追求对电影的热情。即使不可能拍出对政府有批评意义的电影，导演们也开发了一些方法，使他们能够继续实现自己的项目。因此，一幅矛盾的国家愿景出现了，介于政治委托作品和反映现实的愿望之间。这样，阿富汗电影的全景被打开，现实和小说、历史事实和民族神话、艺术实验和宣传都交织在一起。
What We Left Unfinished is about five never completed films made between 1978 and 1992 before the backdrop of the various communist regimes that came to power in Afghanistan. Scenes from these films, some of which later reused in other works, are edited together with current footage of their locations and commentaries by the filmmakers and actors involved in the productions, allowing us to dive into action films and romantic dramas that revolve around local histories and conflicts. By talking to the filmmakers, Mariam Ghani reconstructs how they pursued their passion for film in the face of censorship and danger. Even if it was not possible to make films critical of the regime, the directors developed methods that enabled them to continue realising their projects. A contradictory picture of the visions of the state thus emerges, lying somewhere between politically commissioned works and the aspiration to reflect reality. In this way, a panorama of Afghan cinema is opened up in which reality and fiction, historical facts and national myths, artistic experimentation and propaganda all become interwoven.

Plot：WHAT WE LEFT UNFINISHED tells the story of five unfinished fiction feature films from the Communist era in Afghanistan (1978-1991), and the people who went to crazy lengths to make them, in a time when films were weapons, filmmakers became targets, and the dreams of constantly shifting political regimes merged with the stories told onscreen. This tight-knit group of Afghan filmmakers loved cinema enough to risk their lives for art. Despite government interference, censorship boards, scarce resources, armed opposition, and near-constant threats of arrest or even death, they made films that were subversive and, in the filmmakers' opinions, always true to life. All five films - THE APRIL REVOLUTION, DOWNFALL, THE BLACK DIAMOND, WRONG WAY, and AGENT - completed principal photography before being canceled by the state or abandoned by the filmmakers. WHAT WE LEFT UNFINISHED brings together newly rediscovered and restored footage from these unfinished films with new footage shot in the same locations, and stories from behind the scenes, as told by the directors, actors and crew who worked on the films. Archival fictions, present-day recollections, and both imagined and real visions of Afghanistan slip and slide into each other in a film that reminds us that nations are inventions, and films can reinvent them.
