Director's Statement
At the beginning of the Mahsa Amini revolution, I had to go to Iran and in the same days I received a proposal to make a short film. This is why I decided to talk about one of the many problems of Iranian women.
Soraya is the story of one of the thousands of Iranian women who decides to intentionally abort for fear of social and family prejudice, but in the clinic she meets another woman with the same problem, so together they decide to escape the country and give birth to their children away from prejudice and raise their children in a free country.
