In one scene the soldiers fantasize about having multiple wives, while the refugee-clan patriarch, who has three, drowns his sorrows in opium smoke. Each wife has her own abandoned tank - call it a postapocalyptic, polygamous, Afghan trailer park - but the patriarch spends most of his nights banished outdoors.
