Plot summary
Director Nahid Persson Sarvestani is a filmmaker and former revolutionary who helped to overthrow the monarchy in Iran’s 1979 revolution. Having made two documentaries with anti-Islamist messages, she decided to make a film about the former queen, her old adversary. Both are women living in exile. Over a two year period the two confront each other about their past, question their former beliefs, and share their grievances. Their relationship grows as they realize they have much in common as two strong women who have risen above hardships to continue evolving towards a positive future.
