Synopsis
Afghanistan, 2021, shortly before the Taliban return to power. Naru, the only female camerawoman at Kabul’s leading television station, is trying to retain custody of her three-year-old son. Ever since she left her unfaithful husband, she – like most Afghan women – has become convinced that there are no decent men in her country. That is why Naru is surprised when Qodrat, Kabul TV’s leading journalist, offers her a career opportunity. As they criss-cross the city together to report on the final days of freedom, sparks fly between them and Naru begins to question her conviction. Could there be a good man out there after all?
Director, screenwriter and lead actress Shahrbanoo Sadat aims to present a different, more authentic picture of Afghanistan in *No Good Men*, blending humour and romance. *No Good Men* opened the recent Berlin Film Festival.
