Tara is a little girl from Iran’s Kurdish ethnic group. Life and death are intertwined in her life. When their mothers visit the graves of loved ones lost in state violence, war and bombing after Iran revolution in 1979, she and her friends play hide and seek in the graveyard back stones and trees. Tara receives a fantastic gift for the New Year, the red shoes she has always desired. She dances joyfully and adores shoes so much that she sleeps with shoes. The bombs and conflict intensified the following morning. Tara loses her shoe companion as she and her family seek refuge in shelters. 42 years later, Tara is now a grown woman who lives in Norway with her young daughter. Many women and men gathered in front of Norway’s parliament, cutting their hair in solidarity with the Iranian women’s movement in 2022, and singing the slogan ”woman, life, freedom.” Tara goes to a shopping center with her little daughter after the march, and her daughter chooses the exact shoe that Tara lost 42 years ago. Tara purchases shoes for her. Tara has spent many years attempting to provide her kid with everything she has been denied in her country as a girl. She survived to just give a better life to her daughter in a free and democratic society.Tara is a little girl from Iran’s Kurdish ethnic group. Life and death are intertwined in her life.
