Fox Under a Pink Moon

Soraya is an 18-year-old Afghan sculptor who got married young and works as a caretaker in Iran. Not long ago she unsuccessfully tried to flee to Austria to join her mother while filming herself on a smartphone. Although she nearly lost her life in the attempt and the world is struggling against Covid-19, the Taliban, ISIS and Russia-Ukraine war and all the borders are closed to Non-european immigrants, she believes she has a fox inside her that protects her from the dangers of this world and more strong willed than ever before she travels again a perilous road to an uncertain future.
