Turtles Can Fly
This is a movie about two orphans (one that had a baby out of rape) that are trying to seek refuge, in Kurdistan, near the turkey-iran border. The eldest child (Hengov) had lost his arms, while their village was being torn apart by saddam's soldiers. Agrin, the younger sibling of Hengov, was gang raped, by some of the soldiers, and had a baby as a result of it.
She becomes depressed , withdrawn, and suicidal. She tries many times to kill her child, and herself. She tries to abandon him, but her desperate attempts fail many times. At the end of the movie, she drowns her baby, and jumps off a cliff, leaving her brother all alone.
