Cet article est disponible en anglais.
Suraya and her inseparable friend, talented singer Sima, are trying to cope in Afghanistan’s unstable political landscape at the end of the 1970s. From university halls to intimate gatherings, their contrasting visions of freedom clash and converge: Suraya, a wealthy advocate for communism, blinded by its promise of equality, assumes a pivotal role within the pro-Russian faction, while Sima, a humble, conservative Muslim, sceptical of political power games, seeks refuge in tradition and gets married. Despite their differences, their shared conviction to uphold women’s rights still binds them in sisterhood.
This is the story of Afghan filmmaker Roya Sadat’s new historical drama Sima’s Song [+lire aussi :
