Behind close doors

SYNOPSIS
Behind the Closed Doors tells the heartbreaking story of Nasiba, a refugee mother of three—Sahar, Arezo, and Omid — struggling to survive in a new country. Despite working tirelessly in a restaurant, Nasiba barely earns enough to cover basic needs like food, rent, and her children’s school fees. When she turns to her boss for financial help, he presents her with a cruel choice: compromise her dignity for money. Nasiba refuses, choosing to protect her self-respect even though it means further hardship for her family.

The story captures Nasiba’s quiet suffering as she fights to give her children a better life, while receiving little support from the world around her. It sheds light on the emotional and financial struggles of refugees, leaving readers with a deep sense of her isolation, frustration, and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
