When a closely guarded secret threatens to ruin her future, a young woman must confront the unspoken rules that shape her world and the quiet cost of breaking them.
In a society where silence is survival, one woman’s private dilemma threatens to upend everything she has been taught to be. ‘The Line Between Us’ is an intimate character study about shame, desire and the invisible weight of expectation. As tensions rise between Soraya and her mother, what begins as a quiet domestic drama unfolds across everyday spaces (doctors’ offices, microbuses, waiting rooms, crowded streets), each one echoing the unspoken pressure to obey. With subtlety and compassion, the film explores what it means to hold secrets in a world where purity is prized, and love can feel conditional.
