Synopsis

Set before, during, and shortly after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, one family’s world is turned upside down amidst the dramatic changes in their country. An anthropology lecturer is accused of insulting the Shah while his daughter, a nurse in a suicide ward, is entangled in a love triangle. In the face of political upheaval, father and daughter encounter complex personal and moral dilemmas. Screened only once in 1990 before its recovery, Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s eighth film was partially destroyed, completely banned, then stolen and smuggled out of Iran for a second life.
