Between Revolutions

Maria and Zahra, two women from Romania and Iran, become friends during their medical studies in Bucharest. Bound by the same dreams and hopes, they kept each other's secrets. In 1978, before her final year at the university, Zahra went back home to Iran and never came back to finish her studies. The `79 Iranian Revolution kept them apart, but their friendship endured in the letters they were writing to each other. Trapped between the fear for the present, the longing for change and the hope for a diffrent future, they see in each other’s reflection the dreams they once had. Composed entirely of archives, most of them never before seen, this film is a story about female friendship, hope and utopia.
