Experimental animated short film

Materials: Adobe Premiere, Adobe Animate & A Red Balloon.

In Afghanistan after the Taliban occupied the country in July 2021, Afghan women are not allowed to work or study abroad. This is why many Afghan families seek refuge in neighboring countries, including Iran, to save their daughters' lives.

The project is about a refugee Afghan girl who came to Iran with her family. By selling her fortune, she supports her family. Despite the fact that she is unlucky due to her geographical location, she sells luck and happiness to others so that she can move on with her life. As a symbol of vitality, childhood, and life, she brings her red balloon back to the city.

This movie has no casts. It is the documentation and record of the reality.
