Synopsis
What is the role of women in Iranian literature and film? How can one make political films in a country where the regime and religion are intertwined? Fascinated by Iranian cinema and the feminist poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, the director sets out to meet the protagonists of the Persian cultural scene. Six years of her interviews show the influence of the Iranian regime on the local art and activist scene, which continues to live and create despite the constant fear for life and freedom. Of course, the moral police persecute not only artists and filmmakers but also women who dare to show their hair in public. The director uses the tender language of her beloved poet to present an in-depth view of the life of critics of the current Iranian regime.
