Overview
The Danish-Iranian filmmaker Roja is in the most difficult period of her 36-year life. She is pregnant with her son Oskar and is diagnosed with incurable cancer. In the midst of all this, she must try to find herself. The film is her journey filmed over six dramatic years, in which she documents her everyday life and her thoughts about living with a disease that can cost her everything. How do you live when your precious time on earth is running out too soon? However, Roja is the last to feel sorry for herself. She immerses herself in being present, and then she sets out to chart her Iranian origins and the dramatic history of her family, which opened a new chapter when her politically engaged parents fled Iran after the revolution and ended up in Denmark.
