Synopsis

At just 16, Soraya is already creating stunning drawings and sculptures that are as beautiful as they are dark. This strong-willed young sculptor and illustrator has been trying for five years to escape Iran and join her mother in Austria.

She puts all her worries, joys, and fears into her drawings and the sculptures she makes from soaked egg cartons or clay that she finds along her escape routes. Many of her drawings feature recurring figures: a loyal fox who is her traveling companion, a pink moon that always watches over her, and a clown who never laughs, a character Soraya identifies with.
