Greetings again from the darkness. Filmmaker Brwa Vahabpour has been producing, on average, one new short film each of the past six years. The talent is evident in this emotional 15 minute short film focusing on a young, deaf Kurdish girl.

Bahar, played by first time actor Ebru Ayse Cakir, desperately wants to fit in. She's an outcast due to her hearing loss and the fact that her parents can't afford to send her to a specialty school. Bahar is jealous of the other kids and lashes out at everyone who is holding her back.

We hear the contrast between actual sounds and what it's like in Bahar's head, and we feel her frustration. Happy endings can't be counted on, and sometimes a little peace, love, and understanding goes a long way.
