- Summary:
- Essay on Iran's relationship to the Western world. One of the directors, Katia Forbert Petersen, was raised in Iran. Her father was a Danish engineer and her mother a Polish survivor from Stalin's Gulag camps. In the film, the life of this family is reflected in the history of Iran from the 30s onward, until oil began to tear the world apart and the Islamic Revolution erupted. Through the eyes of ordinary people we experience how any given person's fate can change from one day to the next, when politics and leaderships change. Through an understanding of its past, contemporary Iran is uncovered.
