Overview

Through five portraits of relatives and mentors, five expressions of resistance, Pegah Ahangarani sketches her life story. Drawing from personal archives, home videos, street protests footage, newspapers, and recorded voices, she retraces more than 40 years of Iran’s history. From the early days of 1979, until the war that began in 2026, she pieces together intimate and collective memories, forming the portrait of a country shaped by political repression and in constant hope for a revolution.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deeply personal archive of one woman's life interwoven with four decades of Iran's political upheaval, constructed from home videos, protest footage, and intimate voices. It's a meditation on how individual lives are shaped by historical forces, and how small acts of resistance echo through family and time.
