Afghanistan, 2021, shortly before the Taliban return to power. Naru, the only female camera operator at Kabul’s leading television station, is fighting to retain custody of her three-year-old son. Since leaving her unfaithful husband, she – like most Afghan women – has become convinced that there are no good men in her country.
That is why Naru is surprised when Qodrat, Kabul TV’s leading journalist, offers her a career opportunity. As they crisscross the city together, reporting on the final days of freedom, sparks begin to fly between them, and Naru starts to question her convictions. Could there really be a good man out there after all?
With No Good Men, director, screenwriter and lead actress Shahrbanoo Sadat aims to present a different, more authentic portrait of Afghanistan, filled with humor and romance. No Good Men opened this year’s Berlin International Film Festival.
