With great beauty, vulnerability and poetry, Hoda Taheri composes a portrait of an Iranian asylum seeker, a woman torn between German bureaucracy and questions of sexuality. Playfully exploring the liminal spaces of fiction and autobiography, the film presents a complex perspective of modern Western society's expectations regarding female bodies and motherhood.
