My Sunny Maad

Herra, a young Czech woman, marries Nazir and they leave Europe to live in post-Taliban Kabul. They settle in a large home with his welcoming family, but restrictions on women’s lives gradually lead to tension. Childless, an unexpected gift comes their way when they take in Maad, a bizarre looking child that no one wants. Then violent incidents occur that turn life upside down.

My Sunny Maad is about compromise and change and a film that stands out for its fully developed characters and rich portraits of intimate family life in the midst of a bustling Kabul.
