In times where Headlines about the so called “Culture Clash” hunt each other, the Iranian Filmmaker Afsar Sonia Shafie tells us a different story. It is the story
of her Grandma, her Mother and herself. In a very private and exemplary way the film tells us about how women fight for their right to progress. A fascinating,
personal film about strong women in Iran.
