During the nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, Rahmaneh gets into heated arguments with her devout family. There are religious and political arguments with her father in particular: Hadj Akbar is a staunch supporter of the regime, shaped by his experiences during the revolution and the Iran-Iraq war.

Rabani’s documentary looks with rare openness at the ideological conflicts within families in today’s Iran.

Followed by a Zoom discussion with the filmmaker Rahmaneh Rabani!
