Synopsis

A group of workmen wearing orange overalls are counted, one after the other, before being driven off through the streets of Kabul by lorry. Bashi Gul Azam and his crew of twelve have a mission: to clean the gutters of Kabul. With the aid of a large, patched up shovel, they dig out the rubbish that has gathered in the gutters. Wherever their mission takes them, they meet the people of Kabul, witty and eager to tell the world what’s going wrong.
