Statement of "The Baggage"
For years, women in Iran have been subject to discrimination under Islamic rule and have been deprived of many of their rights. Women have been considered as captives in the hands of men in this land. However, in the recent "Women, Life, Freedom" movement, powerful Iranian women have shown that they are determined to change this historical issue and will succeed in this path.
Summary of the movie "The baggage"
Sohaila is a single mother who lives with her father. Her father, who is from a distant and conservative town, comes to investigate a matter related to Sohaila. Fearing that her father may find out about the matter, Sohaila gives sleeping pills to her child and hides him in a baggage in a secret closet.
On the other hand ,the child wakes up in the baggage and gets out of the closet. He enters a desert where some unscrupulous men try to introduce themselves as the child's father and take him with them.
Returning to the other storyline, Sohaila's father finds out about the matter when he finds the child's dolls, and he beats Sohaila. He threatens her to bring the child to their hometown so that they can determine their fate.
Completely hopeless, Sohaila suffocates her father to death with a pillow while he's asleep.
In the other storyline, the man who successfully took the child with him suffocates while driving.
Sohaila rushes to the baggage and takes her child out of it and huges him.
