Film Synopsis
Deprived of the right to exist, shunned by love, and rejected by societal norms and expectations, 23-year-old Shams must live in the shadows, concealed by secrecy and unimaginable pain. Fearing shame and derision, Shams's mother never registered them publicly due to them being born with both genitalia.When Shams’ intersex identity is exposed, the young seamstress’ tranquil life unravels. Engaged in a steamy love triangle and targeted by an obsessive attacker, they escape to the capital city. Taking refuge with their lover’s mystic cousin, they grapple with their complex sense of self. This evocative tale explores the clash between desire and identity.
