Thu Mar 13

Shayda, a brave Iranian mother, finds refuge in an Australian women’s shelter with her six-year-old daughter. Over Persian New Year, they take solace in Nowruz rituals and new beginnings, but when her estranged husband re-enters their lives, Shayda’s path to freedom is jeopardized. The New York Times calls Shayda a “deeply felt drama” with an “astounding control of pacing and mood.”
