A fearless tale of women who defy oppression, finding solidarity in the face of tyranny.
Azar Nafisi, a former professor at Tehran University, secretly gathers seven of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. As fundamentalists seize control, the women remove their veils, speak about their intimate hopes, loves and disappointments, their femininity and their search for a place in an increasingly oppressive society. By reading Lolita in Tehran, they celebrate the liberating power of literature in revolutionary Iran and form their own future. Nominee Progressive Cinema, Best Film at Rome Film Festival 2024.
