He was wounded.
He escaped the hospital so he wouldn’t fall into the hands of security forces.
They found him anyway.
They arrested him.
Then, in an alley outside his mother’s home, they shot him in the head, from behind.
Saeed GolSorkhi died in his mother’s arms.

Her father kissed the mole near her lip, and kissed it, and kissed it, and kissed it. Negin Ghadimi wanted to share her voice in protest with Iranians. She died in her father’s arms. #iranmassacre

When I design a character, I put it in different situations to see how “it” acts and becomes alive!

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.
Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home
Fascist regimes pushed narratives of domestic bliss, yet relied on women’s unpaid labor. In the US today, ‘womanosphere’ influencers promote the same fantasies
