An incompetent husband, physical abuse as a child and everyday aggression \u2013 these are not only her experiences but also those of her female colleagues at the TV station, her girlfriends and the market women she interviews on Valentine\u2019s Day for a TV feature. The women agree: there are no good men in Afghanistan. And yet an exception may exist. During a dangerous assignment, wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet, she meets fearless, mysterious journalist Qodrat \u2013 played by her artistic partner Anwar Hashimi. Soon, the two are inseparable \u2013 until the Taliban seize control.<br \/>\nPartly autobiographical, romantic in genre and devastating in outcome, Sadat\u2019s latest production offers stories, images and characters that defy every clich\u00e9 of Afghan cinema. Shot entirely outside the country, it conjures a sense of Kabul life that must exist, but has never before been seen on screen. To tell so dramatic a story with such lightness, humour and devotion is no small achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Opening film of the IFFF Dortmund+K\u00f6ln 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46715,"template":"","movie_year":[895],"movie_genre":[629],"movie_cat":[883,881],"festival":[886],"class_list":["post-46717","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-895","movie_genre-spielfilm-2","movie_cat-specials-en-2026","movie_cat-audience-award-en-2026","festival-886"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>No Good Men - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/no-good-men\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"No Good Men - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Camera operator Naru (played by Sadat herself) has given up on the men of Afghanistan.
