Doctor in Duty
A woman's health specialist is unwillingly required to be on full day and night duty aA woman's health specialist is unwillingly required to be on full day and night duty at hospital, a teenage girl asks the Dr for abortion to be performed for her. The film deals with the subject of abortion — a sensitive and universal issue. In many countries, restrictive laws cause deep harm to women or to children born into difficult circumstances. The film was completed three years ago, just one month before the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement in Iran, during a time of strict regulations regarding women’s presence and dress. Post-production was paused for a year, and it was finally released in 2024. Through a blend of realism and surreal imagery, the film seeks to challenge social perceptions of women’s choices — whether to keep a child or to consider abortion If I wanted to make this film now under the current conditions, it would definitely have a different structure!
