Animated film adaptation of Marjane Satrapi's bestselling
autobiographical graphic novel set during the Islamic revolution in
Iran. When the despotic Shah is overthrown in 1979, Marjane (voice of
Chiara Mastroianni) and her family look forward to a new dawn in their
beleaguered country. As she grows up, however, Marjane realises that the
new fundamentalist rulers are just as brutal as their predecessors.
Worried at her inability to stay silent where injustice is concerned,
her parents send Marjane to Austria to study for a better life. Alone in
a strange land, Marjane encounters suspicion and prejudice but
gradually comes to be accepted. When high school is over, though, she
finds herself feeling terribly homesick and makes the decision to return
to her family in the increasingly repressive Iran...
