Roya is a politically engaged Iranian teacher who has been imprisoned for her political beliefs. She is confronted with a cruel choice: she must either publicly retract her views or remain trapped in a tiny prison cell. Once her justified fears become entangled with paranoia, reality itself begins to unravel. ROYA is an intense and formally striking film drawing on director Mahnaz Mohammadi's own experience of wrongful imprisonment and the psychological repercussions of political commitment.
