    Negin
    Gold
    Domestic Picture Story
     
    Negin Azarmi is the symbol of confidence and respect to herself. The one who is like a tree always tries to keep its roots in the soil against the winds and storms. For these reasons, she sees all the inattentions and humiliations, but she can't forget her rights that she is a human being. She is 30 years old and lives in a village in Guilan province, Iran with her family. In the society where it defines by averages and stereotypes, Negin as a dwarf girl managed to find herself, although, in many cases, the city is not built for someone like her. She always tries to make the world aware of her presence. Maybe Negin has realized the differences from the first. Her mother has described it to her as a mystery or romance; She said "Existence of two embryos in one abdomen, caused on one to not grows well". Her twin brother, Nima, according to the usual labeling of society, has a normal type of body and weight. And Negin, has been practicing life beside him for many years without asking " why didn't I become him?
