This is a story about Sahraa Karimi as an exile, a woman and an actor. Born
in Afghanistan and raised in Iran, Karimi played a leading role in Maryam
Shahriar's award-winning film "Daughters
of the Sun". In December 2001, at the age of 20, Karimi arrived
in Bratislava to participate in an international film festival. She also
asked for political
asylum. Fazeli takes it from there and tells a poetic tale of a woman
trying to pull away from a very different past towards a very uncertain
-- but liberating -- future. Festival
