“After encountering a stranger, Shamila and her siblings perceive the threat of deportation from Iran.”
Shamila lives in Iran with her two siblings. They are Afghan immigrants whose parents were tragically killed in a terrorist attack in Kabul. After two years of residing in Iran, they attempt to enroll their younger brother, Samir, in school, but the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran prevent them from doing so.
