European Premiere
In a land torn by tradition and tyranny, young lovers Hasiba and Hafiz risk
everything to escape. But freedom comes at a cost. When Hasiba is
captured by extremists and forced into a brutal world ruled by men, her
fight for survival takes a dark turn. With secrets, betrayal and forbidden
love unravelling around her, she must choose between silence - and death
- or risking everything to reclaim her voice.
Director’s Statement:
In societies where religious extremists hold power, patriarchy runs
rampant.
Under the guise of faith, they view women as mere instruments created
only to serve, to bear children, and ultimately to live and die in silence.
Love becomes a forbidden language, and the right to dream, learn, or
choose one’s own path is denied to women.
These extremists attempt to enslave minds with the monstrous force of
dogma, rewriting the fate of women according to their own will.
They are captives of their own arrogance, seeking to impose their
domination not only on women, but on the entire world.
