Sima’s Song

Two women fight for emancipation and freedom in Afghanistan at the end of the 1970s.

Suraya and her inseparable friend, the talented singer Sima, try to cope with Afghanistan's unstable political landscape. Suraya, a wealthy advocate for communism, assumes a pivotal role within the pro-Russian faction, while Sima, a conservative Muslim, skeptical of political power games, seeks refuge in tradition and gets married.
As the political turmoil in Kabul increasingly escalates, Sima’s involvement with the mujahideen forces her to escape Kabul and Suraya's political dreams are shattered. They both will realize that they have been used by political groups who were only hungry for power.
Directed by the internationally acclaimed Roya Sadat, "Sima's Song" is a testament to the unwavering spirit of Afghan women, portraying their sacrifices, resilience, and their tireless fight for freedom.
