2 role s

THE WOMANFemale45-60 y.o.Middle Eastern

Middle Eastern/Mediterranean. A civilian mother who silently identifies a body bag. Her grief is internalized—she does not speak. Requires strong emotional range through expression, breath, and stillness. One powerful scene.

SOLDIERMale30-40 y.o.White / Caucasian

Caucasian/Northern European appearance (fair skin, blue eyes, blond/light-colored hair preferred). Cold, mechanical, and expressionless. These soldiers follow orders with no empathy. Requires strong presence and the ability to deliver minimal lines with weight and precision. Must embody a controlled, institutional character in a dystopian world.
