Filmmaker's note
The equality of human rights in the region where I live has always made me think. This matter became tangible to me when my sister was about to get married and in order to get the simplest rights of her life, she had to sign a contract between herself and her husband, which her husband did not have to do this. After that, a story was formed in my mind that a woman has to bear many problems for her simplest rights, which is guardianship and custody of her child, during separation from her life partner and even experiences serious mental and emotional abuse in this way. That's why I wrote Soheila's story and imaged her so that we can be with the conditions of a woman during separation in this geography for just a few minutes.
