Plot summary

After recent protests in Iran awaken filmmaker Nahid Persson Sarvestani’s memories to a time when as a young activist she fled after the 1979 revolution, she begins a quest to find her surviving friends. Haunted by the guilt of abandoning her imprisoned friends and her brother, Rostam, who was later executed, she finally finds them and learns about their horrific torture and about Rostam’s final days.

Notes Digitalfil.
Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller ett antal dokumentära inslag av misshandel, döda blodiga kroppar, en döende person i en blodpöl, avrättningar och människor med ögonbindlar som hängts. Detta i kombination med närgånget skildrade berättelser om tortyr och övergrepp bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 15 år.
