Breast cancer transcends mere statistics; it's a global crisis, a human narrative playing out in the intimate spaces of lives across the world. In Iran, where it claims the lives of countless women, the urgency to tell these stories isn't just a mission, it's a necessity. As a documentary filmmaker, I wasn't content with surface-level facts. I wanted to excavate the deeper, often hidden layers of this disease within Iranian society, particularly as it affects women.

Then I met Linda; NOT a subject, but a force. She wasn't simply surviving; she was rewriting the rules. She taught me that cancer demands navigation, not conquest, with acceptance as the compass and a positive spirit as the guide.

My loss, the ghost of my aunt, claimed by breast cancer, is not merely a footnote; it's the fire that forged this film. This is a personal reckoning.
