Naru is convinced that all men in Afghanistan are “thoughtless tyrants without a shred of common sense.” An interview with women on Valentine’s Day also confirms this view. At the same time, following her separation from her unfaithful husband, she is fighting for custody of her three-year-old son and must constantly prove herself professionally as a camerawoman at Kabul News in a male-dominated world. One day, when she steps in for a colleague and is called to interview a Taliban leader, she meets the experienced journalist Qadrat. A tender love story begins between two equals, causing Naru to doubt her convictions. But as the political situation escalates following the Taliban’s takeover, Qadrat makes a decision that changes everything. A gripping insight into a time that preceded today’s Afghanistan.
