Inspired by Iranian cinema and the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, a young Indian filmmaker journeys to Iran to witness how resistance becomes a daily act of survival in Iranian society. Despite stringent censorship of the Islamic Republic she collects a series of eloquent and candid interviews with filmmaker Jafar Panahi, activists, and regular women. Her camera records the simmering anxieties, fears, hopes, and dreams of a nation on the cusp of revolution.
