A Fox Under a Pink Moon
Millions of Afghan men and women live in Iran without permanent legal status or protection. Sixteen-year-old Soraya suffers domestic abuse as well as the inability to freely decide her own future.
A mother and daughter share a quiet evening ritual that gradually transforms into a dark tableau of memory and fear. The film sensitively observes how motherhood becomes a journey toward protection as well as a return to a painful past.
The film draws the audience into the inner world of a woman for whom motherhood is not only a sanctuary but also a constant return to what has remained unspoken. It only gradually emerges that the source of this restlessness is a childhood trauma, which Mailin reopens years later during a court trial. Argentinian director María Silvia Esteve captures the result of seven years spent with a woman seeking justice for the sexual abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of a local priest. The film does not follow the case as a mere legal matter, but as a process of reclaiming memory and an attempt to understand one's own pain. Through family archives, court records, and abstract imagery, it creates a sensitive portrait of a woman striving to provide her daughter with the childhood she never had.
