Roya's Room (2003)

The story follows a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his past. After being found on the road as a baby and raised by his current family, he receives the address of a prostitute who may have information about his birth mother. The film narrates the events through a parallel storytelling technique, weaving between the present and the past. The past time line revolves around the first day of the Iraq-Iran war, specifically the attack on the city of Abadan. Here, the story of two sisters unfolds, one of whom is the same prostitute the young man seeks out. As the two time lines converge, the young man discovers the painful secrets of his past and the connections between the two sisters.
