Using the subversive urgency of cinema verite to depict the lives of six young people intertwining in present day Iran, this powerful film challenges the status quo by providing a new generation of Iranians a fervent voice of rebellion. Misunderstood by their families and oppressed by conservative Islamic society, they act out their personal desires behind closed doors. A feminist finds herself in an affair with a married man; new lovers search for a place to be physically intimate; a gay man is faced with an arranged marriage; a female pop singer risks exposure; an a grief-stricken son lashes out at fundamentalists.

This event made possible with a grant from PARSA Community Foundation and co-sponsored by Silicon Valley Middle East Studies Consortium, Middle East Studies at San Jose State University, and Student Association for Middle East Studies, Department of Humanities.
