Adeel, a highly recommended ex-military officer, is hired by Khalid to transport the sculpture to its final destination. When Adeel first views the statue in a cave in Bamiyan -- known as "the place of shining light" -- he has a profound spiritual reaction and decides to steal the sculpture for himself.
