Over Mij by Ali Asgari
Young Fatima is rushed to the hospital by her father. She has a secret that she can only tell to the doctor. What will the doctor tell her father?
About Me is based on many true stories. The film acts as a plea to the world to not objectify women to such degrading heights as to check whether they are deemed pure in the eyes of their loved ones.
