Maydegol

Maydegol, an Afghan teenager who emigrated to Iran with her parents, strives to realize her dream of becoming a professional Muay Thai boxer. She is determined not to let her conservative family, her father's violence, or the xenophobic attitude of those around her stand in her way. She works day and night to finance the boxing courses without her parents' knowledge. Through the sport, she learns not only to be successful in the ring, but also to overcome life's difficulties. “Maydegol” shows the perseverance of a young generation of women who want to escape their seemingly bleak fate and demand their rights, even if it means risking their lives.
