Story

Freedom or resistance? A gripping drama about an Iranian women’s rights activist based on a screenplay by Mohammad Rasoulof. Maryam has been imprisoned for six long years. When she is permitted to take a seven-day medical break, she can finally see her family again. Without her knowledge, her brother and husband have forged a plan to smuggle her out of the country. For Maryam, a dangerous journey begins through snow-covered mountains, ending in Turkey. Here, she faces the decision: does she really want to stay safe in exile – or should she return to her prison cell to continue the fight for equality and democracy?
