WITHOUT HER
Synopsis
Just two weeks before Roya is set to emigrate from Iran to Denmark, she encounters a quiet young girl who appears lost and doesn’t remember anything. Roya takes her in, providing her with a home and introducing her to her husband, family and friends – all the while blissfully unaware that this girl has come to replace her.
