A Letter to the President

Soraya is walking to her death while the president is still reading her long letter. Will the letter convince him to pardon her? At the same time, unaware of their mother's destiny, her children play in the garden, while Behzad, her colleague, punishes himself because he is the cause of all her troubles. If Soraya is executed, her children will be taking care of by their grandfather, a mafioso. The president will read the letter eventually but could he decide against the court's ruling?
