Plot:	We follow a progressive young woman named Noqreh as she goes about her daily life. Girls' schools have now been reopened, but frustrated by a strained relationship with a bigoted but loving father, she dreams of becoming President of the Republic!
Overview:	AT FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON is Samira Makhmalbaf's third feature film, and the very first foreign film to be made in Kabul since the Taliban ruled. Two years after her father, director/ producer Mohsen Makhmalbaf made the highly acclaimed KANDAHAR, it is now his daughter Samira's turn to concern herself with the plight Afghan women. More specifically the plight of Noqreh, a progressive young woman played by a non-professional actor, trying to survive in post-Taliban Afghanistan. We follow her as she goes about her daily life--girls' schools have now been reopened, but frustrated by a strained relationship with a bigoted but loving father she dreams of becoming...President of the Republic! A bitter political statement, a harsh and cruel tale, but an exquisitely moving, often comic depiction of life after the Taliban.
