A FOX UNDER A PINK MOON
Iran, Frankreich, UK, USA, Dänemark 2025 – Director: Mehrdad Oskouei, Soraya Akhalaghi – Original language: Dari, Persian, Turkish – Subtitles: English – Length: 76 min.
Soraya creates companions for herself on her long journey from Iran to Europe: a clown, a fox, and the moon. The 16-year-old is essentially alone in the world—her father has died, her mother has fled, and her husband is violent. Through images, songs, and sculptures, she captures what gives her strength, carried by the hope of being reunited with her mother. HM.S.
