A portrait of Zafira Ghafari, who became the youngest mayor in Afghanistan at the age of 26. In 2020, she fears the return of the Taliban more than ever, so when it becomes clear that American troops will withdraw from Afghanistan, she faces a major dilemma. At least as interesting is the focus on her driver and bodyguard Massoum, who actually hopes to be accepted by the Taliban, and the meeting with Taliban commander Musafer. For anyone wanting to gain a comprehensive, nuanced picture of the situation in Afghanistan before and after 'the fall of Kabul', this is a must.
