Description
Three Iranian actresses, Mahsa Rostami, Niousha Akhshi and Setareh Maleki, were forced to flee Iran after making the film "The Seed of the Sacred Fig", leaving their families behind and settling in Berlin. A work of Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, the movie won a special prize at the Cannes film festival last year and is hoping to go one better at the Oscars on Sunday. In an interview alongside her two co-stars, Maleki tells AFP that being nominated for an Oscar "feels truly magical to us". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
