16 year old Afghan Soraya is a brilliant artist, creating dark and beautiful sculptures. But she’s stuck in Iran, married to a violent man, desperate to reach her mother in Austria, and a wider sense of freedom. This phone-shot self-portrait interweaves chilling scenes of Soraya’s escape attempts with political news and her visionary art, song and dance.

Rapper Carter The Bandit rises through a scene still shaped by hyper-masculinity where queer authenticity isn't always welcome. With honesty and energy, the film charts the exhilaration of artistic ambition alongside the personal cost of refusing to compromise who you are.
