Over the course of five years, Afghan teenage girl Soraya documents her repeated attempts to escape Iran. Her deepest wish is to reunite with her mother in Austria. Using her mobile phone, she films dangerous border crossings, life in exile, and a violent marriage. Through her deep passion for visual art, she tries to find a language for pain, hope, and resistance.
Read moreDirector Mehrdad Oskouei has assembled Soraya’s footage from a distance, yet the film feels strikingly intimate, offering first-hand insight into a life on the run. While the documentary is urgent and closely connected to reality, it also brings Soraya’s drawings to life through animated sequences. Parts of the story are told through her art, where a fox, a pink moon, and a sad clown accompany her journey.
The result is a rare and deeply personal documentary about a young girl with her own dreams, trapped within political and patriarchal structures.
