Synopsis

Sonita is an 18-year-old female, an undocumented Afghan illegal immigrant living in the poor suburbs of Tehran. She is a feisty, spirited, young woman who fights to live the way she wants, as an artist, singer, and musician in spite of all her obstacles she confronts in Iran and her conservative patriarchal family. In harsh contrast to her goal is the plan of her family – strongly advanced by her mother – to make her a bride and sell her to a new family. The price right now is about US$ 9.000.

Sonita 18 yaşında, Tahran’ın fakir mahallelerinde yaşayan kaçak Afgan bir genç kadındır. Bir sanatçı, şarkıcı ve müzisyen olarak, İran’daki engellere ve ataerkil muhafazakar ailesine rağmen kendi istediği gibi yaşamak için mücadele eden, güçlü ve zeki bir kadın. Kendi amacının tam tersine, ailesinin amacı onu bir gelin yapıp yeni bir aileye satmaktır. Yaklaşık fiyat 9.000 Amerikan dolarıdır.
