On an impulse, Trudi - Ann Tierney, Sydney producer and former actress, goes to Kabul to manage a bar. She quickly falls into the local TV industry, where she becomes responsible for producing a highly popular soapie.<br/><br/>Trudi's staff are hugely inexperienced. They include Habib, the Pashto poet who wants to insert allegorical scenes involving fighting ants into the scripts; Rashid, the Dari manager, who spends all day surreptitiously watching uncensored Hindi music videos; and the Pakistani actresses who cross the border to Jalalabad ('Jallywood') to perform roles that no Afghan actresses can take on without bringing shame to their families.<br/><br/>Trudi lives among the expat community - the media, the burnt - out army types now working as security contractors, the 'Do - Gooders', the diplomats - in dubious guest houses like The Dirty Diana. This is 'Ka - bubble', where the reckless encounters with each other, with alcohol and of course with recreational drugs are as dangerous as the city's streets.<br/><br/>Here are crazy people living crazy lives, and locals trying to survive as best they can against the backdrop of war.
