Yasha follows Hana, a young teacher driven to desperate measures after losing her job. In need of money for her son’s life-saving operation, Hana is willing to endure any hardship, humiliation, or consequence to give her child a chance to survive, and the film remains firmly focused on its protagonist’s relentless struggle throughout. Never saccharine or manipulative in its portrayal of maternal determination, this is a story that feels raw, tense, and authentic.
