Following a chance encounter when she was just fourteen years old, Iranian Soheila Ghodstinat fell in love with the charming Ali, who at 21, was considered far too old for her, and totally unsuitable. Little did she realise that this meeting was to change her life forever. After being sent abroad to continue her education, Soheila returned home to find that Ali had never forgotten her, and she fell in love with him all over again. A few month later the couple were married, but what started out as a fairytale for Soheila turned into a nightmare when she was confronted by Ali's darker side. As a young mother in Iran the Islamic Revolution, even though she was the victim of violence, Soheila found herself utterly powerless to escape. Repeated attempts to find a haven for herself and her daughter failed as she came up against the bureaucracy of a society where women no longer had rights. In A Journey to Starland, we watch a Soheila struggles against the forces around her to achieve happiness, and her dream of a journey to her imageniary land in the space between the stars. This is an extraordinary story of love, of friendship, and of the remarkable courage of one woman who never lost hope in the power of faith. |
