YALDA

Yalda, a twenty-something-year-old, was detained during women’s rights protests for dancing without compulsory hijab in the streets. She was released on a multi-billion toman bail. Now awaiting the execution of her 10-year prison sentence, Yalda, a 30-year-old musician from the marginalized sector of society, contemplates a shared life with her partner, Omid. On the last night of her temporary freedom, they engage in a discussion about a decision Yalda has made, one that could profoundly impact her life, Omid’s, and the surrounding community. Yalda intends to stage a final protest dance she has designed and bring closure to her life in the same video.
