Afghanistan, 2021. Naru, the only female camera operator at Kabul's main television station, is trying to maintain 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. So Naru is surprised when Qodrat, Kabul TV's leading journalist, offers her a career opportunity.
As they travel across the city together to report on the last days of freedom, sparks fly between them, and Naru begins to doubt her conviction. Could there be a good man somewhere after all?
With No Good Men, director, screenwriter and lead actor Shahrbanoo Sadat wants to present a different, more authentic portrait of Afghanistan, filled with humour and romance. The film opened the recent Berlin Film Festival.
