Director Sharifi composed both a diary and a form of civil archive by collecting records from before the revolution. She uses 8mm footage of family celebrations from the counrty’s forgotten secular past, a time when everyone were freely dressed, feasted and drank, played music and danced without the fear of police raids, contrasting it with the current suppression.

This documentary, full of laughter and tears, premiered at the Berlinale Panorama.
