Her singing defies Iran’s silence.
In Iran, where women are forbidden from singing in public, Nasreen, once silenced by marriage and tradition, dares to reclaim her voice. Filmed over seven years by her sister, director Leila Amini, the film chronicles one woman’s quiet rebellion against cultural and domestic constraints. As she transforms from dutiful wife and mother into a determined singer, Nasreen’s journey becomes a powerful act of resistance. Her courage inspires a ripple effect, empowering her children, sisters, and mother. Intimate and deeply personal, the film captures a story of resilience, self-discovery, and the unyielding desire to be heard in a society that demands silence.
