The documentary tells the story of the girl Nvjvanyst, who became a victim of war and poverty. Her father died in the war and her mother was forced to marry another man. The stepfather treats her badly, and she has to leave her homeland “Herat” and goes alone to war-torn Kabul. Due to the lack of other work, she becomes a prostitute.

My name is Mohammad Kazem Rostami, born in Kabul, Afghanistan. I worked for five years in local media as a photographer and cameraman. I have been living in Germany with my family for three years. In Munich, I have collaborated with various artist groups and completed several internships at Südkino Produktion, where I became familiar with the use of modern camera equipment. Immigrating to a country unknown to me and being away from my profession was difficult — until I came across KINO ASYL. There, I met other artists from different countries, and we benefit from each other’s experiences. Everyone has the right to find their place in society. The film was shown in June 2018 at the Students’ Festival in Kabul. I later read about it, and the content seemed very exciting and important. One of the problems faced by girls and women in Afghanistan is that they are often subjected to harassment by men. I also know the film team and wanted to introduce them to you.
